Claim:
A positionable mechanism comprising: a base unit; a frame unit mounted on said base unit, retractable with respect to said base unit between a storage position and a working position, and including a pressing part; an optical image stabilizing (OIS) unit mounted on said base unit, and including a movable carrier that includes an orientation part facing said frame unit, an optical element that is mounted on said movable carrier, and a driving element that is operable to drive said movable carrier to move with respect to said base unit; and a positioning unit including a main body that is disposed at said base unit, that is movable with respect to said movable carrier between an abutting position and a releasing position, and that is subjected to a restoring force toward the releasing position; wherein, when said frame unit is at the storage position, said pressing part of said frame unit presses said main body of said positioning unit to the abutting position where said positioning unit abuts against said orientation part of said movable carrier so as to position said movable carrier; wherein, when said frame unit is at the working position, said main body is restored to the releasing position due to the restoring force and said positioning unit releases said movable carrier.
