Abstract
An optical system includes a central portion having a magnification per unit angle of view which increases from a center to an outside at an increase rate and a circumferential portion being outside the central portion and having a magnification per unit of view which increases from the central portion to an outside at an increase rate smaller than the increase rate of the central portion.
Claims3
An optical system, comprising:
- a plurality of lenses,
- wherein:
- a first area of an angle of view of the optical system, which is an area where a subject image incident on each of the lenses is not overlapped, includes a magnification per unit angle of view which increases with an angle of view,
- a second area of an angle of view which is outside the first area includes a magnification per unit angle of view which changes with the angle of view with a rate of increase of the magnification per unit angle of view being reduced as the angle of view increases, and
- the second area is an area where images, from two lenses of the plurality of lenses, overlap each other.
