1. A method for configuring an emulation method for emulating a second camera objective, comprising the steps:
determining a plurality of first images that are recorded using a first camera objective;
determining a plurality of second images that are recorded using the second camera objective and whose image content corresponds to the image content of the plurality of first images, the first camera objective and the second camera objective being non-identical with one another; and
configuring the emulation method for emulating the second camera objective on the basis of the plurality of first images and the plurality of second images,
wherein the method comprises the step of generating the plurality of first images and the step of generating the plurality of second images, wherein the plurality of first images and the plurality of second images are simultaneously recorded by two different image sensors that are of an identical type,
wherein the plurality of first images are recorded under predefined conditions;
wherein the plurality of second images are recorded under the predefined conditions;
wherein the predefined conditions comprise at least one of:
at least one predefined camera objective aperture setting;
at least one predefined camera objective focus setting;
at least one predefined camera objective focal length setting;
at least one camera sensor sensitivity setting; or
at least one camera sensor white balance setting.
