An electronic device is disclosed. Moreover, various embodiment found through the disclosure are possible. The electronic device may include a camera module including an optical image stabilizer, a motion sensor, a processor electrically connected to the camera module and the motion sensor. The processor may be configured to obtain first motion information corresponding to shaking of the electronic device through the motion sensor, while at least partially obtaining an image frame, determine second motion information, which corresponds to motion of a lens or an image sensor included in the camera module, from the first motion information, using attribute information and a frequency pass filter of the optical image stabilizer, and perform digital image correction, based on the first motion information and the second motion information.

Apparatus and method for estimating optical image stabilization motion

A camera module includes a lens unit including one or more lenses, wherein at least some of the one or more lenses are movable along a path corresponding to optical axes of the one or more lenses, and a driving unit to move the at least some lenses along the path. The driving unit includes a magnet physically connected with the at least some lenses, a coil to form a magnetic field such that the magnet moves along the path, and a magnetic substance disposed on one surface of the coil opposite to another surface of the coil, which is adjacent to the magnet. The magnetic substance adapts the at least some lenses, which are physically connected with the magnet, to a specified position of the path by using magnetic force between the magnet and the magnetic substance, which is formed as the coil approaches the magnet.
