[0002] With the popularity of outdoor sports, the demand for action cameras has increased. Users expect to record the action scene completely through a wide-angle lens with a large field of view to enhance the spatial sense of the picture. However, the traditional wide-angle lens for action cameras has the following problems: in order to achieve a large field of view, the optical structure of the lens becomes complex, and the total length increases, which not only makes the camera bulky and heavy, affecting the portability and flexible use, but also makes it more vulnerable. At the same time, the traditional lens has poor temperature resistance, and the lens is easy to deform and delaminate in high and low temperature environments, resulting in a decline in imaging quality. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a wide-angle lens for action cameras with short total length, large field of view and good temperature resistance. SUMMARY

[0031] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above-described technical solutions conceived by this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0032] 1. The aforementioned wide-angle lens for the action camera has 6 out of 7 lenses made of glass, which has a simple structure, is easy to grind and manufacture, and has good heat resistance. The only plastic lens is also made of OKP series, with a Tg temperature of 145℃, which makes the wide-angle lens of the action camera less prone to defocusing at high temperatures. The sixth lens (L6) has the largest focal length, which is beneficial for correcting higher-order aberrations. The second lens (L2), the third lens (L3), the fourth lens (L4), and the fifth lens (L5) are a combination of negative and positive lenses, which is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration and field curvature, while also helping to reduce the overall length of the lens.
[0033] 2. The wide-angle lens of the action camera has a relatively large effective light-passing aperture of the first lens (L1) and the seventh lens (L7), which is beneficial to increase the field of view (FOV), which can reach a maximum of 167°.
[0034] 3. The wide-angle lens of the action camera has a small lens thickness and air gap, which helps to reduce aberrations. At the same time, the ratio of its total length to focal length is controlled between 5.5 and 6.3, so that the lens has a good depth of field and can meet the shooting needs from 1m to infinity. The ratio of the sum of lens thickness and air gap to focal length is within 1.7, which makes its total length small and helps to improve convenience and flexibility. [Attached Image Description]
