A digital motion picture camera for the taking of motion pictures includes an optoelectronic sensor device having a plurality of sensor elements for the generation of received signals in dependence on the exposure time, a digitizing device for the digitizing of the received signals and an electronic control device for the control of the exposure time and the reading out of the received signals and for the evaluation of these received signals. A plurality of images taken with different exposure times are combined with one another by means of the control device, with the time centers of the images to be combined with one another between a respective start of recording and a respective end of recording coinciding at least substantially.
