Abstract

A camera module includes a lens module, a first frame accommodating the lens module, a second frame accommodating the first frame, and a housing accommodating the second frame. The lens module and the first frame are rotatable about a first axis, with respect to the second frame, perpendicular to an optical axis. The lens module, the first frame, and the second frame are rotatable about a second axis, with respect to the housing, perpendicular to both the optical axis and the first axis. A first ball member is disposed between the first frame and the second frame and elastically supported in a direction of the first axis, and a second ball member is disposed between the second frame and the housing and elastically supported in a direction of the second axis.
