1. An actuator for a camera, comprising:
an OIS carrier moving in at least one of a first direction perpendicular to an optical axis direction and a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
an AF carrier for accommodating the OIS carrier and moving in the optical axis direction together with the OIS carrier; and
a housing in which the AF carrier is accommodated,
wherein the AF carrier includes an opening such that the OIS carrier faces the housing,
wherein the OIS carrier includes an auxiliary stopper protruding so as to be able to contact the housing through the opening,
wherein a first gap for moving the AF carrier is formed between the AF carrier and the housing, and
wherein a second gap for providing a movement space of the OIS carrier is formed between the OIS carrier and the AF carrier.
