1. An electronic device comprising:
a camera module, wherein the camera module comprises:
a lens assembly including lenses aligned along an optical axis;
an actuator surrounding at least two surfaces of the lens assembly;
a first magnet disposed on a first surface of the lens assembly;
a first coil disposed on the actuator to correspond to the first surface of the lens assembly and configured to move the lens assembly along the optical axis;
a metal shield structure disposed on an outer surface of the actuator to face the first coil;
a second magnet disposed on a second surface of the lens assembly;
a second coil disposed on the actuator to correspond to the second surface of the lens assembly and configured to move the lens assembly on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis;
a fixing structure disposed on a third surface perpendicular to the first surface of the lens assembly, wherein at least a portion of the fixing structure has a magnetic property;
at least one driving circuit electrically connected to the first coil and the second coil; and
a housing in which the lens assembly and the actuator are accommodated,
wherein the fixing structure is movable in a first direction parallel to the third surface in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis,
wherein the housing includes an opening through which one end of the fixing structure is inserted into the housing, and
wherein, when one end of the fixing structure is inserted into the opening, the fixing structure is fixed in an optical axis direction by the opening and is fixed in the first direction by a magnetic force acting on the metal shield structure.
