1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing; and
a camera assembly, disposed on the housing and comprising a first camera module;
wherein the first camera module comprises:
a first shell, comprising:
a first top wall, defining a light incident hole;
a first side wall, connected to the first top wall;
a second side wall, connected to the first side wall and the first top wall;
a third side wall, connected to the first side wall and the first top wall and facing the second side wall;
a fourth side wall, connected to the second side wall, the third side wall, and the first top wall and facing the first side wall; and
a first bottom wall, opposite to the first top wall, and connected to the first side wall, the second side wall, the third side wall, and the fourth side wall;
a second shell, communicated with the first shell and comprising:
a pair of fifth side walls, protruding from the third side wall in a direction away from the second side wall and arranged opposite to each other;
a sixth side wall, connected between the pair of fifth side walls;
a second top wall, protruding from a side of the first top wall connected to the third side wall in the direction away from the second side wall; and
a second bottom wall, opposite to the second top wall and protruding from a side of the first bottom wall connected to the third side wall in the direction away from the second side wall, wherein the second top wall and the second bottom wall are connected to the pair of fifth side walls and the sixth side wall;
a first light-redirecting member, disposed in the first shell and facing the light incident hole;
a lens assembly, disposed in the first shell;
an image sensor, disposed on the fourth wall of the first shell;
a second light-redirecting member, disposed in the first shell and located at a side of the lens assembly away from the first light-redirecting member; and
a third light-redirecting member, disposed in the second shell and facing the second light-redirecting member, wherein a relative displacement between the second light-redirecting member and the third light-redirecting member is changeable to change a transmission distance of light from the lens assembly to the image sensor;
wherein light entering from the light incident hole is subsequently transmitted to the first light-redirecting member and the lens assembly, and redirected by the second light-redirecting member and the third light-redirecting member subsequently, and the light transmitted out of the third light-redirecting member is further redirected by the second light-redirecting member into the image sensor.
