Abstract

An optical image stabilization apparatus and a camera module are provided. The optical image stabilization apparatus includes: a shape memory alloy driving component, a fixed component, and a movable component. The shape memory alloy driving component is disposed between the fixed component and the movable component to drive the movable component to move relative to the fixed component. The shape memory alloy driving component is connected with the fixed component and/or the movable component by means of through a metal spacer, and the metal spacer is detabably connected with the fixed component and/or with the movable component.
