Abstract

An optical imaging system includes a first lens having positive refractive power, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens, arranged in order from an object side. The first lens is shaped such that a length of a first axis, which intersects an optical axis, is greater than a length of a second axis, which intersects the optical axis and is perpendicular to the first axis. The optical imaging system satisfies 4.5<TTL/IMG HT<6.5; 0.87<TTL/f<1.31; and 0.65<L1S1es/L1S1el<0.9.
