Abstract

Provided is a camera module, including: a shell; a lens assembly movable relative to the shell; a focusing and driving assembly; an image stabilization and driving assembly; and a supporting and guiding assembly for supporting the lens assembly and guide a movement of the lens assembly. The supporting and guiding assembly comprises a first magnetic portion fixed to the lens assembly, a second magnetic portion fixed to the shell and spaced from and opposite to the first magnetic portion, and a ball provided between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion. The lens assembly is connected to the shell through the supporting and guiding assembly in a rollable way. According to the present invention, the ball is arranged between the first magnetic portion and the second magnetic portion to guide the lens assembly to achieve restoration, thereby saving an inner space and facilitating assembling thereof.
