A method for focal adjustment of an automotive camera is disclosed. The method includes capturing a first image with an imager of the camera during a first frame period, exposing a plurality of rows of a sensor array of the imager according to a rolling shutter mode, and capturing a second image with the imager during a second frame period after the first frame period. The method further includes determining a first area on the sensor array, which corresponds to a predefined region of interest for the first frame period, determining a first subset of the plurality of rows, determining a focal adjustment period which starts after all rows of the first subset of rows have been exposed during the first frame period, and adjusting at least one focal parameter of the camera during the focal adjustment period according to a predefined focal setting.
