  • Publication number: 20080100713
    Abstract: A camera module installed on an electronic device is described. A main body is rotatably connected with the electronic device. An image sensing unit is disposed on the main body for obtaining images. A magnetic sensor is disposed on the main body. A magnet is disposed on the electronic device. When the main body rotates, a magnetic field density measured by the magnetic sensor varies as a distance between the magnetic sensor and the magnet varies. A control unit is to judge a position of the image sensing unit according to the magnetic field density measured by the magnetic sensor.
