1. A camera module, comprising:
a housing unit;
a carrier, accommodated in the housing unit, and configured to move in an optical axis direction;
a lens unit, accommodated in the carrier, and in which one or more lenses are disposed;
a first buffer member, disposed on a side surface of the carrier, and configured to protrude in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and having a length in the optical axis direction; and
a second buffer member, disposed on the side surface of the carrier to be spaced apart from the first buffer member, and configured to have a cross section perpendicular to the optical axis direction that is different from a cross section of the first buffer member perpendicular to the optical axis direction,
wherein the side surface of the carrier, on which the first buffer member and the second buffer member are disposed, has a length that extends in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction.
