1. A sensor shifting module, comprising:
a fixed body;
a movable body, movably disposed inside the fixed body, and comprising an image sensor having an imaging plane oriented in an optical axis direction; and
a driving unit, configured to move the movable body in a direction, perpendicular to the optical axis direction, with respect to the fixed body, and configured to rotate the movable body about the optical axis direction,
wherein the driving unit comprises driving coils coupled to one of the fixed body and the movable body, and driving yokes coupled to the other one of the fixed body and the movable body,
wherein parallel surfaces of the driving yokes and the driving coils face each other in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction,
wherein, when a current is applied to the driving coils, the movable body is configured to move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction based on an electromagnetic interaction between each of the driving coils and each of the driving yokes, or is configured to rotate about the optical axis direction, and
wherein a surface of the driving yokes, disposed opposite to the driving coils, comprises an inclined surface that extends from a central portion of the driving yokes to ends of the driving yokes.
