The invention relates to an optical system, an image capturing module and an electronic device. The optical system includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a first lens with positive refractive power, a second lens with refractive power, a third lens with negative refractive power, a fourth lens with negative refractive power, a fifth lens with positive refractive power, and a sixth lens with negative refractive power. The object-side surface and the image-side surface of the third lens are concave in the circumferential direction. The object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fifth lens are aspheric; and at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface has an inflection point. The optical system satisfies the following conditions: CT1 / SD11 islarger than 0.60 and is less than 1.01; TTL / CT1 is larger than 5.5 and is less than 9.0; the CT1 is the thickness of the first lens on the optical axis, the SD11 is half of the maximum effective aperture of the object side surface of the first lens, and the TTL is the distance from the object side surface of the first lens to the imaging surface of the optical system. According to the optical system, the head of the pick-up lens can be smaller, and the requirement of miniaturization design of electronic equipment is met.
