Abstract

A camera module, an electronic device and a photographing method are disclosed, which relates to the field of camera devices, in order to mitigate or alleviate the problem of an excessively small view angle for the existing camera module. The camera module includes a fixing member, a photographing unit connected with the fixing member via a connection shaft, a driving component including a first magnetic member and a first conductive member. Either of the first magnetic member and the first conductive member is fixed to the photographing unit, the other is fixed to the fixing member. The first conductive member is arranged to be located in a magnetic field of the first magnetic member so as to generate, when the first conductive member is energized, a driving force capable of driving the photographing unit to rotate around the connection shaft in the magnetic field of the first magnetic member.
