Abstract
A four-piece optical lens for capturing image and a five-piece optical module for capturing image are disclosed. In order from an object side to an image side, the optical lenses along the optical axis include a first lens with positive refractive power; a second lens with refractive power; a third lens with refractive power; and a fourth lens with refractive power; and at least one of the image-side surface and object-side surface of each of the four lens elements are aspheric. The optical lens can increase aperture value and improve the imagining quality for use in compact cameras.
