Abstract
A dual camera module that includes a voice coil motor actuator and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The dual camera module comprises a first camera including a first lens module; a second camera including a second lens module, arranged to adjoin the first camera; and a controller for controlling the first camera and the second camera, wherein the controller identifies whether the first camera includes a first sensing module for sensing movement of the first lens module if a camera execution command is received, identifies whether the second camera includes a second sensing module for sensing movement of the second lens module if the first camera includes the first sensing module, identifies whether the first sensing module of the first camera and the second sensing module of the second camera have the same type as each other if the second camera includes the second sensing module, and controls the first camera and the second camera at different time zones if the first sensing module and the second sensing module have the same types as each other.
