1. A camera module, comprising:
a fixing member;
a base member slidably coupled to the fixing member;
a driving unit coupled to the base member and comprising a main gear;
a gear structure rotatably coupled to the base member and configured to engage with the main gear;
a first camera connected to the gear structure and configured to be rotated; and
a second camera connected to the gear structure and configured to be rotated in a direction opposite to the first camera,
wherein a first position of the base member when the main gear is rotated in a first rotation direction is different from a second position of the base member when the main gear is rotated in a second rotation direction that is opposite to the first rotation direction,
wherein, when the main gear is rotated in the first rotation direction, the base member is configured to maintain a fixed state with respect to the fixing member, and
wherein, when the main gear is rotated in the second rotation direction, the base member is configured to be slidably moved with respect to the fixing member.
