1. A camera module, comprising:
a first lens module comprising a first lens barrel accommodating a first lens group; and
a second lens module spaced apart from the first lens module in an optical axis direction, configured to be moveable in the optical axis direction, and comprising a second lens barrel accommodating a second lens group,
a third lens module spaced apart from the second lens module in the optical axis direction, configured to be moveable in the optical axis direction, and comprising a third lens barrel accommodating a third lens group,
wherein the first lens barrel comprises a first through-hole on one side and a first opening on the other side,
wherein the second lens barrel comprises a second opening adjacent to the first opening on one side and a second through-hole on the other side,
wherein a diameter of the first opening is greater than a diameter of the first through-hole, and a diameter of the second opening is greater than a diameter of the second through-hole, and
wherein a light shielding member is disposed at an inner side of one or more of the first opening and the second opening,
wherein the third lens barrel comprises a third through-hole opposing the second through-hole on one side and a third opening on the other side, and
wherein a diameter of the third opening is greater than a diameter of the third through-hole.
