Abstract
A camera module includes a first lens module including at least one lens disposed in a first optical axis direction and refracting light; a first reflective member disposed to be spaced apart from the first lens module in the first optical axis direction and configured to change a propagation direction of the light; and an image sensor disposed to receive the light. As the first lens module moves upward along the first optical axis direction, a reflective surface of the first reflective member transitions from a first state of being perpendicular to the first optical axis direction to a second state of being oblique to the first optical axis direction.
