Method for manufacturing an imager module and a corresponding imager module

A method for manufacturing an imager module, includes: applying a flexible, in particular elastic, receiving area to a carrier device, for example, a metal plate, and applying an image sensor to the flexible receiving area, the image sensor being tiltable and/or pivotable with the flexible receiving area, attaching a lens, in particular including a guide device, on the image sensor so that the lens aligns the image sensor so that an axis, in particular an optical axis of the lens, extends essentially in parallel to a normal of the image sensor, and fixing the lens on the image sensor and/or the carrier device. The guide device may be formed by three guide pins here, whose lower pin ends define a support plane, which is placed on a sensor surface. In addition, an imager module manufactured in this way is created.
