Camera module and titanium-copper foil

1. A camera module comprising:

a lens;

a spring member which elastically urges the lens toward an initial position along an optical axis direction;

an electromagnetic drive means capable of driving the lens along the optical axis direction by producing an electromagnetic force against an urging force of the spring member; and

a control means configured to control a drive current supplied to the electromagnetic drive means,

wherein the spring member contains 2.9% to 3.5% by mass of Ti, with the balance being copper and inevitable impurities, and has a Vickers hardness equal to or greater than 350 and a thickness equal to or greater than 0.01 mm and less than 0.1 mm.
