Claim 8:
9. A camera device comprising:
an optical module including a plurality of lenses including a first lens having an edge that extends in a first direction; and
an image sensor including a pixel array in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in the first direction and in a second direction that intersects the first direction, the image sensor further comprising a logic circuit configured to obtain a pixel signal generated by the plurality of pixels in response to light passing through the optical module,
wherein the pixel array includes a first autofocus pixel and a second autofocus pixel, each of the first autofocus pixel and the second autofocus pixel comprising a first photodiode and a second photodiode,
wherein the first photodiode and the second photodiode of the first autofocus pixel are arranged in the first direction, and the first photodiode and the second photodiode of the second autofocus pixel are arranged in the second direction, and
wherein in a third direction that intersects the first direction and the second direction, a gap between an upper surface of the first autofocus pixel and the optical module is greater than a gap between an upper surface of the second autofocus pixel and the optical module.
