1. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing, including an optical image stabilization (OIS) coil and an auto-focus (AF) coil;
a first lens disposed along an optical axis disposed within the housing, a second lens disposed under the first lens, and a third lens disposed under the second lens, wherein the second lens is deformable according to movement of an AF carrier;
an OIS carrier including an OIS magnet disposed in a position corresponding to the OIS coil of the housing, and is configured to move the third lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis;
wherein the AF carrier is coupled to the OIS carrier, and includes an AF magnet disposed in a position corresponding to the AF coil, and configured to move the second lens along the optical axis; and
a processor electrically connected to the OIS coil and the AF coil,
wherein the processor is configured to:
control application of a current to the OIS coil to move the OIS carrier, resulting in movement of at least the third lens in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, and
control application of a current to the AF coil to deform the second lens by movement of the AF carrier.
