Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens having positive refractive power, a second lens having positive refractive power, a third lens having positive refractive power, and a fourth lens having positive refractive power, and an F No. of the optical imaging system is equal to or less than 1.0. The optical imaging system is capable of achieving miniaturization while capturing an image at low illumination.
