Claim 13:
14. An electronic device comprising:
a housing; and
a camera, at least part of which is disposed inside the housing,
wherein the camera comprises:
a fixed part comprising a base and a sidewall structure disposed on the base,
a moving part disposed to be at least partially surrounded by the sidewall structure, the moving part comprising a lens, an image sensor, and a circuit board that is electrically connected with the image sensor or on which the image sensor is disposed and configured to enable the lens, the image sensor, and the circuit board to move together, wherein the circuit board is disposed to at least partially face the base,
a plurality of coils comprising a first coil disposed on a first sidewall of the sidewall structure, a second coil disposed on a second sidewall of the sidewall structure, and a third coil disposed on a third sidewall of the sidewall structure, and
one or more balls disposed between the moving part and the sidewall structure so as to enable the moving part to be tilted,

wherein the electronic device further comprises control circuitry electrically connected with the plurality of coils, and
wherein the control circuitry is configured to perform an image stabilization function by moving the moving part using at least one of the plurality of coils to vary a gap between the circuit board and the base.
