1. A motor vehicle comprising:
- an exterior camera that is provided outside the motor vehicle to record an image field;
an electronic side rearview simulated mirror, that has a display apparatus to display images recorded by the exterior camera;
an operator control element to change an orientation of the exterior camera and to select an image detail for display, the image detail being selected from the image field recorded by the exterior camera, the operator control element being a mirror operator control element for a mirror face of a conventional exterior mirror; and
a man/machine interface separately disposed within the motor vehicle from the operator control element, the man/machine interface comprising a rotary/push control device which includes;
a rotary control portion that when rotated, adjusts a magnification level for the exterior camera and/or for the image detail, andan adjusting element provided centrally on the rotary/push control portion and movable in at least two directions of movement to select a direction to displace the image detail,whereinthe operator control element is movable in at least two directions of movement that are perpendicular to one another to control tilting of the exterior camera in two perpendicular directions and/or to control displacement of the image detail in two perpendicular directions, andthe operator control element changes the orientation of the exterior camera by controlling the exterior camera to swivel independent of movement of the electronic side rearview simulated mirror.

Abstract
A motor vehicle has at least one electronic rearview mirror, particularly an exterior and/or side mirror, that has a display apparatus, particularly a display, for images recorded by an exterior camera that is provided particularly outside the motor vehicle. The operator control element provided for adjusting an image detail from the image, which image detail is to be displayed on the display apparatus, and/or an orientation for the exterior camera is a mirror operator control element, developed for the purpose of adjusting a mirror face of a conventional exterior mirror, and/or a rotary/push control of a man/machine interface.

15. A motor vehicle comprising:
-
a door; an exterior camera that is provided outside the motor vehicle to record an image field; an electronic side rearview simulated mirror, that has a display apparatus to display images recorded by the exterior camera; a first operator control element to change an orientation of the exterior camera and to select an image detail for display, the image detail being selected from the image field recorded by the exterior camera, the first operator control element being a rotary/push control device of a man/machine interface and including; a rotary control portion that when rotated, adjusts a magnification level for the exterior camera and/or for the image detail, and an adjusting element provided on the rotary/push control portion and movable in at least two directions of movement to select a direction to displace the image detail; and a second operator control element to change the orientation of the exterior camera and to select the image detail for display, the image detail being selected from the image field recorded by the exterior camera, the second operator control element being a mirror operator control element for a mirror face of a conventional exterior mirror disposed at a location proximate to the door, separately within the motor vehicle from the first operator control element, wherein the second operator control element is movable in at least two directions of movement that are perpendicular to one another to control tilting of the exterior camera in two perpendicular directions and/or to control displacement of the image detail in two perpendicular directions, and the second operator control element changes the orientation of the exterior camera by controlling the exterior camera to swivel independent of movement of the electronic side rearview simulated mirror. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
