[0018] The attached drawings and the following description are provided to enable a person skilled in the art to fully understand this disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0019] (Embodiments 1-5) The imaging optical systems according to Embodiments 1 to 5 will be described individually below with reference to the drawings.

The ninth lens element L9 and the tenth lens element L10 are bonded together with an adhesive or the like.

[0102] The fourth lens group G4 consists of an eleventh lens element L11 that has positive power.

[0103] The fifth lens group G5 consists of a twelfth lens element L12 that has negative power.

[0104] Each lens element will be explained.

[0105] The lens elements in the first lens group G1 are described below. The first lens element L1 is a biconcave lens. The second lens element L2 is a biconvex lens. The third lens element L3 is a biconvex lens. The fourth lens element L4 is a biconcave lens. The fifth lens element L5 is a biconcave lens. The sixth lens element L6 is a biconvex lens. The surfaces on both sides of the sixth lens element L6 have an aspherical shape.

[0106] The lens elements in the second lens group G2 are described below. The seventh lens element L7 is a biconcave lens. The eighth lens element L8 is a biconvex lens. The image-side surface of the eighth lens element L8 has an aspherical shape.

[0107] The lens elements in the third lens group G3 are described below. The ninth lens element L9 is a meniscus lens with a convex surface on the image side. The tenth lens element L10 is a biconcave lens.

[0108] The lens elements in the fourth lens group G4 are described below. The eleventh lens element L11 is a biconvex lens. Both sides of the eleventh lens element L11 have an aspherical shape.

[0109] The lens elements in the fifth lens group G5 are described below. The twelfth lens element L12 is a meniscus lens with a convex surface on the image side. Both sides of the twelfth lens element L12 have an aspherical shape.

[0110] In the imaging optical system according to Embodiment 1, when focusing from an infinity-focused object state to a close-up object state, the first lens group G1, the third lens group G3, and the fifth lens group G5 are fixed to the image plane S. When focusing from an infinity-focused object state to a close-up object state during imaging, the second lens group G2 and the fourth lens group G4 move toward the object.

[0111] In detail, during focusing from a point-of-view state at infinity to a close-up object state, the second lens group G2 and the fourth lens group G4 move along the optical axis such that the distance between the first lens group G1 and the second lens group G2 decreases, the distance between the second lens group G2 and the third lens group G3 increases, the distance between the third lens group G3 and the fourth lens group G4 decreases, and the distance between the fourth lens group G4 and the fifth lens group G5 increases.

[0112] Furthermore, the sixth lens element L6 (image blur correction lens element), which is the image-side lens element within the first lens group G1, moves perpendicular to the optical axis to optically correct image blur. This image blur correction lens element allows the imaging optical system to correct image point movement caused by vibrations of the entire system. In other words, the imaging optical system can optically correct image blur caused by camera shake, vibrations, etc.

[0113] (Other embodiments) As described above, Embodiments 1 to 5 have been explained as examples of the technology disclosed in this application. However, the technology in this disclosure is not limited thereto and can be applied to embodiments that are modified, replaced, added, or omitted as appropriate.

[0114] Furthermore, the number of lens groups and the number of lens elements within each lens group are actual numbers, and it is permissible to add lenses that do not actually possess any power.

[0115] Furthermore, while image blur correction is performed by moving the image blur correction lens element perpendicular to the optical axis, it is possible to correct image blur by moving it in a way that has a vertical component. For example, if the complexity of the lens barrel structure is acceptable, image blur correction may be performed by rotating the image blur correction lens element so that its center of rotation is on the optical axis.

[0116] (Conditions and effects, etc.) The following describes the conditions that can be satisfied by, for example, the imaging optical systems according to Embodiments 1 to 5. While multiple possible conditions are defined for the imaging optical systems according to Embodiments 1 to 5, the configuration that satisfies all of these conditions is the most effective. However, it is also possible to obtain an imaging optical system that produces corresponding effects by satisfying individual conditions.

[0117] The imaging optical system according to Embodiments 1 to 5 comprises, in order from the object side, a first lens group G1 having positive power, an aperture diaphragm A, a second lens group G2 having positive power, a third lens group G3 having negative power, a fourth lens group G4 having positive power, and a fifth lens group G5 having negative power. When focusing from an infinity focus state to a close-up focus state, the first lens group G1, the third lens group G3, and the fifth lens group G5 are fixed with respect to the image plane S, and the spacing between each lens group changes as the second lens group G2 and the fourth lens group G4 move along the optical axis.

[0118] This makes it possible to provide an imaging optical system that is compact yet effectively corrects aberrations across the entire focus range.

[0119] Furthermore, for example, the imaging optical system should preferably satisfy the following condition (1).

[0120] 1.0 < f1 / f < 1.5 ···(1) Here, f1: Focal length of the first lens group G1, f: The total focal length of the system when focused at infinity. That is the case.

[0121] Condition (1) is a condition that defines the ratio of the focal length of the first lens group G1 to the focal length of the entire system when focused at infinity. By satisfying condition (1), an imaging optical system that can effectively correct various aberrations can be realized.

[0122] Conversely, if the value falls below the lower limit of condition (1), various aberrations, particularly field curvature, will occur, making it difficult to ensure good performance. Also, if the value exceeds the upper limit of condition (1), various aberrations, particularly coma aberration, will occur, making it difficult to ensure good performance.

[0123] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (1a) and (1b).

[0124] 1.1 < f1 / f ···(1a) f1 / f < 1.4 ···(1b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (1c) and (1d).

[0125] 1.2 < f1 / f ···(1c) f1 / f < 1.35 ···(1d) Furthermore, for example, the imaging optical system should preferably satisfy the following condition (2).

[0126] 0.5 < |f5 / f| < 1.0 ···(2) Here, f5: Focal length of lens group G5, f: The total focal length of the system when focused at infinity. That is the case.

[0127] Condition (2) specifies the ratio of the focal length of the fifth lens group G5 to the total focal length of the entire system when focused at infinity. If the ratio falls below the lower limit of condition (2), various aberrations, especially coma and astigmatism, will occur, making it difficult to ensure good performance. Conversely, if the ratio exceeds the upper limit of condition (2), various aberrations, especially astigmatism, will occur, making it difficult to ensure good performance.

[0128] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (2a) and (2b).

[0129] 0.55 < |f5 / f| ···(2a) |f5 / f| < 0.9 ···(2b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (2c) and (2d).

[0130] 0.6 < |f5 / f| ···(2c) |f5 / f| < 0.8 ···(2d) Furthermore, for example, the imaging optical system should preferably satisfy the following condition (3).

[0131] 1.8 ≦ f2 / f4 ≦ 3.4 (3) Here, f2: Focal length of the second lens group G2, f4: Focal length of the fourth lens group G4, That is the case.

[0132] Condition (3) specifies the ratio of the focal lengths of the second lens group G2 and the fourth lens group G4. By satisfying condition (3), a compact and effective aberration correction can be achieved.

[0133] Conversely, if the value falls below the lower limit of condition (3), various aberrations, especially spherical aberration and field curvature, will occur, making it difficult to ensure good performance. Also, if the value exceeds the upper limit of condition (3), various aberrations, especially spherical aberration and astigmatism, will occur, making it difficult to ensure good performance.

[0134] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (3a) and (3b).

[0135] 2.0 ≤ f2 / f4 ···(3a) f2 / f4 ≤ 3.2 ···(3b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (3c) and (3d).

[0136] 2.2 ≤ f2 / f4 ···(3c) f2 / f4 ≤ 3.0 ···(3d) Furthermore, for example, the imaging optical system should preferably satisfy the following condition (4).

[0137] 0.1 < BF / Y < 0.5 ···(4) Here, BF: The distance along the optical axis from the lens surface with the strongest negative power on the image side to the image plane. Y: Maximum image height when focused at infinity. That is the case.

[0138] Condition (4) defines the ratio of the back focus to the maximum image height at infinity focus. If the value falls below the lower limit of condition (4), the back focus becomes too small, which is undesirable because it increases the likelihood of interference between the lens closest to the image sensor and the image sensor. Conversely, if the value exceeds the upper limit of condition (4), the back focus becomes too large, which is also undesirable because it increases the overall size of the lens.

[0139] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (4a) and (4b).

[0140] 0.22 < BF / Y ···(4a) BF / Y < 0.38 ···(4b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (4c) and (4d).

[0141] 0.24 < BF / Y ···(4c) BF / Y < 0.36 ···(4d) Furthermore, for example, the imaging optical system should preferably satisfy the following condition (5).

[0142] 3.0 < TL / Y < 3.8 ···(5) Here, TL: Optical length when focused at infinity, Y: Maximum image height when focused at infinity. That is the case.

[0143] Condition (5) is a condition for defining the total optical length (the distance along the optical axis from the lens surface closest to the object to the image plane) and the maximum image height when the lens is focused at infinity.

[0144] If the value falls below the lower limit of condition (5), it becomes difficult to correct aberrations in the on-axis and off-axis light beams, which is undesirable. Conversely, if the value exceeds the upper limit of condition (5), miniaturization becomes difficult.

[0145] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (5a) and (5b).

[0146] 3.1 < TL / Y ···(5a) TL / Y < 3.7 ···(5b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (5c) and (5d).

[0147] 3.3 < TL / Y ···(5c) TL / Y < 3.5 ···(5d) Furthermore, in an imaging optical system, for example, the second lens group G2 preferably has, in order from the object side, a lens element with negative power and a lens element with positive power, and satisfies the following condition (6).

[0148] 1.8 < nd2Gp ··· (6) Here, nd2Gp: Refractive index of the positive power lens element of the second lens group G2, That is the case.

[0149] Condition (6) specifies the preferred range of refractive index for the positive power lens element of the second lens group G2. Below the lower limit of condition (6), it becomes difficult to correct various aberrations, especially astigmatism and field curvature, in a balanced manner.

[0150] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying the following condition (6a).

[0151] 1.82 < nd2Gp ···(6a) Furthermore, condition (6b) below specifies a preferred upper limit for condition (6). Exceeding the upper limit of condition (6b) may make it difficult to adequately correct the field curvature. In such cases, it is preferable to satisfy condition (6) or condition (6a) and then satisfy condition (6b).

[0152] nd2Gp < 2.1··· (6b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (6c) and (6d).

[0153] 1.84 < nd2Gp ···(6c) nd2Gp < 2.0··· (6d) Furthermore, for example, the imaging optical system should preferably satisfy the following condition (7).

[0154] 62 < νd4G ··· (7) Here, νd4G: Abbe number of the lens element of the fourth lens group G4, That is the case.

[0155] Condition (7) specifies the preferred range for the Abbe number of the lens element of the fourth lens group G4. If the Abbe number falls below the lower limit of condition (7), it becomes difficult to correct various aberrations, especially chromatic aberration, in a balanced manner.

[0156] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying the following condition (7a).

[0157] 65 < νd4G ···(7a) Furthermore, condition (7b) below specifies a preferred upper limit for condition (7). Exceeding the upper limit of condition (7b) may make it difficult to adequately correct chromatic aberration. In such cases, it is preferable to satisfy condition (7) or condition (7a) and then satisfy condition (7b).

[0158] νd4G < 100···(7b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (7c) and (7d).

[0159] 70 < νd4G ···(7a) νd4G < 100···(7b) Furthermore, in an imaging optical system, for example, it is desirable that the fifth lens group consists of a single lens element and satisfies the following condition (8).

[0160] 50 < νd5G ··· (8) Here, νd5G: Abbe number of lens element G5 of lens group 5, That is the case.

[0161] Condition (8) specifies the preferred range for the Abbe number of the lens element of the fifth lens group G5. If the Abbe number falls below the lower limit of condition (8), it becomes difficult to correct various aberrations, especially chromatic aberration, in a balanced manner.

[0162] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying the following condition (8a).

[0163] 54 < νd5G ···(8a) Furthermore, condition (8b) below specifies a preferred upper limit for condition (8). Exceeding the upper limit of condition (8b) may make it difficult to adequately correct chromatic aberration. In such cases, it is preferable to satisfy condition (8) or condition (8a) and then satisfy condition (8b).

[0164] νd5G < 80 ···(8b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (8c) and (8d).

[0165] 58 < νd5G ···(8a) νd5G < 64 ···(8b) Furthermore, for example, the imaging optical system should preferably satisfy the following condition (9).

[0166] 0.4< (1-β4×β4)×β4r×β4r < 1.0 (9) Here, β4: Horizontal magnification of the fourth lens group G4 when focused at infinity. β4r: The combined lateral magnification of all lenses positioned on the image side of the fourth lens group G4 when focused at infinity. That is the case.

[0167] Condition (9) defines the positional sensitivity of the fourth lens group G4. If the value falls below the lower limit of condition (9), the amount of movement of the fourth lens group G4 during focusing becomes large, making it difficult to miniaturize the lens system. Conversely, if the value exceeds the upper limit of condition (9), the positional sensitivity of the fourth lens group G4 becomes high, making it difficult to control during focusing, which is undesirable.

[0168] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (9a) and (9b).

[0169] 0.5< (1-β4×β4)×β4r×β4r (9a) (1-β4×β4)×β4r×β4r< 0.9 (9b) More preferably, the aforementioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (9c) and (9d).

[0170] 0.6 < (1 - β4 × β4) × β4r × β4r ... (9c) (1 - β4 × β4) × β4r × β4r < 0.8 ···(9d) Furthermore, in an imaging optical system, for example, the first lens group G1 preferably has a single image blur correction lens that moves perpendicular to the optical axis, located closest to the image, and satisfies the following condition (10).

[0172] Condition (10) defines the ratio of image shift relative to the amount of movement of the image shake correction lens. Satisfying condition (10) enables compact and effective image shake correction.

[0173] If the value falls below the lower limit of condition (10), the amount of movement required for the image blur correction lens to shift the image by a predetermined amount becomes large, making miniaturization difficult. Conversely, if the value exceeds the upper limit of condition (10), the amount of movement required for the image blur correction lens to shift the image by a predetermined amount becomes small, requiring high-precision control. In addition, the increased power of the image blur correction lens makes good correction difficult.

[0174] Preferably, the above effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (10a) and (10b).

[0175] 0.3 ≦ |(1−β)×βr| ···(10a) |(1−β)×βr| ≦ 0.95 ···(10b) More preferably, the above-mentioned effects can be further enhanced by satisfying either or both of the following conditions (10c) and (10d).

[0176] 0.4 ≦ |(1−β)×βr| ···(10c) |(1−β)×βr| ≦ 0.9 ···(10d) Furthermore, in an imaging optical system, for example, it is desirable that the first lens group G1 comprises, in order from the object side, a lens element with negative power, a lens element with positive power, a lens element with positive power, and a lens element with negative power.

[0177] This makes it possible to provide an imaging optical system that is compact yet effectively corrects aberrations across the entire focus range.

[0178] (Schematic configuration of the imaging device to which Embodiment 1 is applied) Figure 6 shows a schematic configuration of an imaging device to which the imaging optical system according to Embodiment 1 is applied. It is also possible to apply the imaging optical systems according to Embodiments 2 to 5 to the imaging device.

[0179] The imaging device 100 consists of a housing 104, an image sensor 102, and an imaging optical system 101 according to Embodiment 1. A specific example of the imaging device 100 is a digital camera.

[0180] The lens barrel 302 holds each lens group of the imaging optical system 101 and the aperture diaphragm A.

[0181] The image sensor 102 is positioned at the image plane S in the imaging optical system according to this embodiment 1.

[0182] The imaging optical system 101 is configured such that the second lens group G2 and the fourth lens group G4 move during focusing, and the lens frames included in the lens barrel 302 are attached to or engaged with them.

[0183] The imaging optical system 101 is configured with actuators and lens frames controlled by the imaging device 100 or a controller in the lens barrel 302 so that the second lens group G2 and the fourth lens group G4 move during focusing.

[0184] This makes it possible to realize an imaging device that can effectively correct various aberrations.

[0185] Although the image imaging optical system according to Embodiment 1 described above was shown as being applied to a digital camera, it can also be applied to surveillance cameras, smartphones, and the like.

[0186] (Schematic configuration of the camera system to which Embodiment 1 is applied) Figure 7 shows a schematic configuration of a camera system to which the imaging optical system according to Embodiment 1 is applied. It is also possible to apply the imaging optical systems according to Embodiments 2 to 5 to the camera system.

[0187] The camera system 200 comprises a camera body 201 and an interchangeable lens device 300 that is detachably connected to the camera body 201.

[0188] The camera body 201 includes an image sensor 202 that receives an optical image formed by the imaging optical system of the interchangeable lens device 300 and converts it into an electrical image signal, a monitor 203 that displays the image signal converted by the image sensor 202, a memory (not shown) for storing the image signal, a camera mount section 204, and a viewfinder 205.

[0189] The imaging optical system of the interchangeable lens device 300 is the imaging optical system according to Embodiment 1.

[0190] The lens barrel 302 includes each lens group of the imaging optical system 301 and a lens mount portion 304 that holds the aperture diaphragm A and is connected to the camera mount portion 204 of the camera body 201.

[0191] The camera mount section 204 and the lens mount section 304 not only provide a physical connection, but also function as an interface that electrically connects the controller (not shown) in the camera body 201 and the controller (not shown) in the interchangeable lens device 300, enabling the exchange of signals between them.

[0192] The imaging optical system 301 is configured such that the lens barrel 302 can be attached to or engaged with the lens frames included in the lens barrel 302, so that the lens frames holding the second lens group G2 and the fourth lens group G4 can be moved during focusing.

[0193] The imaging optical system 301, which consists of lens groups held by the lens barrel 302 and the camera body 201, is configured with actuators and lens frames controlled by a controller in the interchangeable lens device 300 so that the second lens group G2 and the fourth lens group G4 move during focusing.

[0194] (Examples of numerical values) The following describes numerical examples of the imaging optical systems according to Embodiments 1 to 5. In each numerical example, the unit of length in the table is "mm" and the unit of field of view is "°". In each numerical example, r is the radius of curvature, d is the interplanar spacing, nd is the refractive index for the d line, and νd (also written as vd) is the Abbe number for the d line. In each numerical example, the surface marked with an asterisk (*) is an aspherical surface, and the aspherical shape is defined by the following formula.

[0195]

number

[0196] Here, Z: The distance from a point on the aspherical surface at height h from the optical axis to the tangent plane of the aspherical surface's vertex. h: height from the optical axis, r: radius of curvature of the vertex, κ: cone constant, An: nth-order aspherical coefficient That is the case.

[0197] Figures 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, and 5B are longitudinal aberration diagrams at each focus position of the imaging optical system according to Embodiments 1 to 5, respectively.

[0198] In each longitudinal aberration diagram, (a) shows the aberration at infinity focus, (b) shows the aberration at an intermediate position, and (c) shows the aberration at focus on a nearby object. Each longitudinal aberration diagram shows, from left to right, spherical aberration (SA (mm)), astigmatism (AST (mm)), and distortion (DIS (%)). In the spherical aberration diagram, the vertical axis represents the F number (indicated as F in the diagram), the solid line represents the d-line, the short dashed line represents the F-line, and the long dashed line represents the C-line. In the astigmatism diagram, the vertical axis represents the image height (indicated as H in the diagram), the solid line represents the sagittal plane (indicated as s in the diagram), and the dashed line represents the meridional plane (indicated as m in the diagram). In the distortion diagram, the vertical axis represents the image height (indicated as H in the diagram).

[0199] Figures 1C, 2C, 3C, 4C, and 5C are lateral aberration diagrams of the imaging optical systems according to Embodiments 1 to 5 in the state of infinity object focus.

[0200] In each lateral aberration diagram, the top three diagrams correspond to the basic state without image blur correction at infinity focus, while the bottom three diagrams correspond to the image blur correction state at infinity focus with the image blur correction lens group moved by a predetermined amount in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. In the basic state, the top diagram corresponds to the lateral aberration at the image point at 70% of the maximum image height, the middle diagram corresponds to the lateral aberration at the on-axis image point, and the bottom diagram corresponds to the lateral aberration at the image point at -70% of the maximum image height. In the image blur correction state, the top diagram corresponds to the lateral aberration at the image point at 70% of the maximum image height, the middle diagram corresponds to the lateral aberration at the on-axis image point, and the bottom diagram corresponds to the lateral aberration at the image point at -70% of the maximum image height. In each lateral aberration diagram, the horizontal axis represents the distance from the principal ray on the pupil plane, with solid lines representing the d-line, short dashed lines representing the F-line, and long dashed lines representing the C-line.

[0201] Furthermore, for each embodiment of the imaging optical system, the amount of movement of the image blur correction lens group in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis in the image blur correction state when the object at infinity is in focus is as follows.

[0202] Numerical Example 1: 0.401 mm Numerical example 2: 0.412 mm Numerical example 3: 0.410 mm Numerical example 4: 0.406 mm Numerical example 5: 0.270 mm In the state of point focus on an object at infinity, the amount of image eccentricity when the imaging optical system is tilted at a predetermined angle is equal to the amount of image eccentricity when the image blur correction lens group is translated by the above values ​​in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.

[0203] As is clear from each lateral aberration diagram, the symmetry of lateral aberration at the on-axis image point is good. Furthermore, comparing the lateral aberration at the +70% image point and the lateral aberration at the -70% image point in the basic state, both show small curvature and nearly equal slopes of the aberration curves, indicating small eccentric coma and eccentric astigmatism. This means that sufficient imaging performance is obtained even in the image shake correction state. In addition, when the image shake correction angle of the imaging optical system is the same, the amount of parallel shift required for image shake correction decreases as the focal length of the entire imaging optical system decreases. Therefore, at any focus position, it is possible to perform sufficient image shake correction for a given image shake correction angle without degrading the imaging characteristics.
