To provide a camera module that enables a refocus function by a compound eye configuration and an automatic focus function by an automatic focus mechanism to be used separately.
According to an embodiment, a camera module includes: a main lens 13, which is a first imaging optical system; a micro lens array 14, which is a second imaging optical system; a focus adjustment section; and an imaging mode control section 26. The second imaging optical system forms an image. The focus adjustment section carries out a focus adjustment to the first imaging optical system. The imaging mode control section 26 allows the function of the second imaging optical system in an optical axis between an image sensor 20, which is an imaging part, and the first imaging optical system, and stops the focus adjustment made by the focus adjustment section. In a second imaging mode, the imaging mode control section 26 stops the function of the second imaging optical system and carries out the focus adjustment by the focus adjustment part.
