摘要

The invention relates to a method of operating a hand-held measuring device (10, 10a) with a laser device (34) for emitting a laser beam (36) to a target point (38) on a remote object, a control device (48) for controlling the measuring device (10, 10a ), in particular for controlling a power with which the laser device (34) is operated, with an image acquisition device (30, 30a) for acquiring an image (42) of at least one target environment (42) of the at least one target point (38). According to the invention, the method comprises at least the following method steps: acquiring an image (42) of at least the target environment (40) of the target point (38), analyzing the image (42) with respect to a person (62) located in the target environment (40), in particular with respect to one in the target environment located face (64), by means of the control device (48) and generating a corresponding identification signal, adjusting the power with which the laser device (34) is operated, in response to the identification signal by the control device (48).
