Zusammenfassung:A method of controlling operation of a rear view imaging device (15 see fig 1) for a vehicle (43 see fig 8), the rear view imaging device (15) including a mirror or a display screen 71. The method comprises detecting a hand 17 of a vehicle occupant within a volume of space within a vehicle cabin; determining a position of the hand 17 with respect to the rear view imaging device; identifying a gesture of the hand 17; and controlling operation of the rear view imaging device (15) in dependence on a distance between at least a portion of the hand 17 and the rear view imaging device (15) being less than or equal to a predefined threshold distance, and the identified gesture. An orientation of the hand 17 may be determined using an input from a camera (7 see fig 1). The invention facilitates adjustment of the device (15).
