1. A camera module comprising:
a carrier supported on a housing and movable in an optical axis direction;
a frame supported on the carrier and comprising a first magnet configured to interact with a first coil such that the frame is moved relative to the carrier in a first direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction; and
a lens module supported on the frame and comprising a second magnet configured to interact with a second coil such that the lens module is moved relative to the frame in a second direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction and the first direction,
wherein one of the frame and the lens module is supported to a relative member by an attractive force acting in one of the first direction and the second direction, and
wherein the housing includes a yoke facing one of the first magnet and the second magnet along one of the first direction and the second direction, and the attractive force acts between the yoke and the one of the first magnet and the second magnet in the respective first direction or second direction.
