A camera moduleincludes a lens unit, which includes a lensand a lens holderholding the lenstherein, and an image sensing unit, which has a solid-state image sensor. A position adjustment of the lensis performed by moving the lensindependently of the lens holder, by use of electromagnetic force. This allows a fine adjustment of a position of the lens, thereby improving the alignment precision of the lens. Thus, a solid-state image sensing device is provided, which can make fine adjustments of focal lengths.
