Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide a camera module and an electronic device. The camera module is configured to be mounted in the electronic device. The camera module includes a bracket, an optical image stabilization motor, an automatic focus motor, a reflecting prism, a camera lens, and a lens holder. The reflecting prism is disposed in the optical image stabilization motor, the camera lens is disposed in the automatic focus motor, and the camera lens is connected to the lens holder. The optical image stabilization motor, the automatic focus motor, and the lens holder are disposed within the bracket and are sequentially arranged in a first direction. The first direction is an optical axis direction of the camera lens, and a plane on which the lens holder is located is disposed perpendicular to the optical axis direction.
