A camera module is configured to capture an optical image of a target area and includes a lens member, an imager, a light transmitting member, and a seat. The lens member is configured to receive light from the target area. The imager has a curved portion convex in a direction away from the lens member and is configured to capture the optical image formed on the curved portion. The light transmitting member optically couples the lens member and the imager. The seat has a supporting portion that supports an outer rim of the imager and a fluid space defined inside the supporting portion. A heat dissipation fluid undergoes convection in the fluid space. The curved portion is interposed between the light transmitting member and the seat having the supporting portion and the fluid space.
