Abstract
An electronic device is provided, including a main body and a camera module. The camera module has a frame, a lens unit disposed in the frame, a guiding member, and a hinge. The guiding member is affixed to the main body and has a rail and a spring sheet. The hinge pivotally connects to the frame and the guiding member. When the camera module is in the retracted position, the camera module is hidden in a recess of the main body. When the camera module slides out of the recess from the retracted position along the rail into the operational position, the spring sheet is pressed by the hinge to increase the friction between the hinge and the guiding member.
