1. A film scanner for the optical scanning of a motion picture film ( 11 ) which has a sequence of a plurality of image regions ( 31 ) and at least one row of a plurality of perforation holes ( 35 ) in the longitudinal direction, in particular a motion picture film of the type 16 mm or 35 mm, having an image sensor ( 23 ) for the detection at least of a respective image region ( 31 ) of the motion picture film ( 11 ) to generate a corresponding scanned image; and having an evaluation unit ( 19 ) for the evaluation of the scanned image to generate an image steadiness correction signal for the scanned image, characterized in that the image sensor ( 23 ) is made for the additional detection of only a respective part region ( 45 ) of perforation holes ( 35 ) in the environment of the detected image region ( 31 ) of the motion picture film ( 11 ), with the evaluation unit ( 19 ) being made to determine a position of the detected part region ( 45 ) of at least one perforation hole ( 35 ) and to generate the image steadiness correction signal on the basis of the at least one determined part region position.
