An electronic device is disclosed, including a housing, an optical image stabilization (OIS) coil and an auto-focus (AF) coil, a first lens disposed along an optical axis, a second lens disposed under the first lens, and a third lens disposed under the second lens, the second lens is deformable according to movement of an AF carrier, an OIS carrier including an OIS magnet disposed corresponding to the OIS coil of the housing, and configured to move the third lens along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, wherein the AF carrier includes an AF magnet corresponding to the AF coil, to move the second lens along the optical axis, and a processor configured to apply a current to the OIS coil to move the OIS carrier, resulting in movement of the third lens in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, and apply a current to the AF coil to deform the second lens by movement of the AF carrier.

Electronic device including camera and method of operating the same

In embodiments, an electronic device may include a processor and a camera module functionally connected to the processor. The camera module may include a lens assembly including at least one lens, and an image sensor for processing light acquired through the lens assembly. The processor may be configured to identify position information of the lens assembly, to move the camera module within a first range to correct a shake in an image acquired through the image sensor when the position information of the lens assembly corresponds to a first position, and to move the camera module within a second range to correct the shake in the image acquired through the image sensor when the position information of the lens assembly corresponds to a second position.
