## Abstract

A camera device comprises an image sensor, a first moving module and two groups of second moving modules. The first moving module is connected to the image sensor. The first moving module is activated to move the image sensor linearly along a first axis. The second moving module is connected to the image sensor. The second moving module is activated to move the image sensor linearly along a second axis, which intersects with the first axis. The two groups of second moving modules are activated simultaneously to rotate the image sensor around a third axis, which is orthogonal to the first and second axes, respectively. The image sensor compensates for the image by linear movement in the direction of the first axis and the second axis and can also compensate for the image by rotation in the direction of the third axis to achieve three-axis image stabilization.
