1. A sensor shifting module, comprising:
a fixed body;
a first movable body, movably disposed in the fixed body, comprising an image sensor having an imaging plane opposite to a first direction; and
a driver, configured to move the first movable body in a direction orthogonal to the first direction with respect to the fixed body, comprising a driving coil coupled to one of the fixed body and the first movable body, and a driving yoke coupled to another of the fixed body and the first movable body,
wherein the driving yoke is disposed to oppose the driving coil in the direction orthogonal to the first direction, and
wherein, when current is applied to the driving coil, the first movable body is configured to move in the direction orthogonal to the first direction by electromagnetic interaction between the driving coil and the driving yoke.
