1. A camera module comprising:
a housing;
a lens barrel disposed in the housing;
a lens barrel driving unit including a driving magnet and a driving coil, configured to drive the lens barrel in an optical axis direction; and
a position restoration member disposed to face the driving magnet,
wherein the driving magnet and the driving coil substantially face each other in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and
wherein a conditional expression Yh<(Mh−AFL/2) is satisfied,
where Yh is a total length of the position restoration member in the optical axis direction, Mh is a total length of the driving magnet in the optical axis direction, and AFL is a maximum displacement of the lens barrel in the optical axis direction.
