Abstract

Provided are a lens driving device, a camera module and a camera-mounted device which can perform translational deviation correction in addition to angular deviation correction. The lens driving device is provided with: an image-capturing unit which captures a subject image formed by a lens unit; a driving unit for translational deviation correction which performs translational deviation correction by shaking the lens unit within a plane perpendicular to an optical axis, on the basis of a detection signal from a translational deviation detecting unit that detects a translational deviation; and a driving unit for angular deviation correction which performs angular deviation correction by integrally tilting the image-capturing unit and the driving unit for translational deviation correction, on the basis of a detection signal from an angular deviation detecting unit that detects an angular deviation.
