The application relates to a 3M five-piece front-view main camera and an imaging method thereof, which is composed of a first lens, a second lens, a diaphragm, a third lens, a fourth lens and a fifth lens arranged in sequence from left to right along the light incident path; the first lens is a
meniscus negative lens, the object side surface of which is a convex surface, and the image side surface is a
concave surface; the second lens is a biconvex positive lens, the object side surface of which is a convex surface, and the image side surface is a convex surface; the third lens is a biconvex positive lens, the object side surface of which is a convex surface, and the image side surface is a convex surface; the fourth lens is a biconcave negative lens, the object side surface of which is a
concave surface, and the image side surface is a
concave surface; and the fifth lens is a biconvex positive lens, the object side surface of which is a convex surface, and the image side surface is a convex surface. The application has the advantages of reasonable design and simple structure, and through reasonable distribution of the
optical power,
surface type, central thickness of each lens and the
axial distance between the lenses, the total length of the lens and the radial size of each lens are reduced while the 3M imaging
performance requirement of the five-piece lens is met, and the lens group is miniaturized.
