Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a camera module in which an optical member configured to focus an image of a subject on an image pickup surface of an image pickup device is integrated, the method comprising: a measuring step of photographing a subject for a test via the optical member in a state in which the optical member is opposed to a reference image pickup device having the same optical characteristic as the image pickup device, moving the optical member and the reference image pickup device relative to each other in an optical axis direction, and measuring a just-focus position at which the image of the subject is focused on an image pickup surface of the reference image pickup device; and an integrating step of positioning and fixing the image pickup device and the optical member such that the image pickup device, which is an object of integration, and the optical member are opposed with a distance between the reference image pickup device and the optical member at a time when the reference image pickup device and the optical member are disposed at the just-focus position which is measured in the measuring step.
