The serration apparatus includes a first serration gearing; a second serration gearing mounted on the camera lens module and receiving and compressively meshing with the first serration gearing within its inner side, wherein when the camera lens module is rotated, the second serration gearing is rotated with the camera lens module and produces frictional force against the first serration gearing, thereby creating a clicking feeling; and an elastic member for providing compressing force to cause the first and second gearings to be meshed with each other.
