Abstract
An electronic device includes a first housing including a first surface and a second surface; a second housing including a third surface and a fourth surface; a hinge structure; a camera module disposed within the first housing; and a first magnet disposed within the second housing and facing the camera module. The camera module includes: a case including one surface facing the first surface and the another surface facing the second surface and spaced apart from the first surface; a lens assembly movable within the case; and an actuator accommodating a second magnet and including a carrier configured to move the lens assembly in a direction toward the one surface of the case or a direction toward the other surface of the case; and the first magnet limits the movement of the lens assembly by interaction with the second magnet when the electronic device is in the folding state.
