A zoom lens system includes in order from an object side to an image side a first lens unit having a positive refracting power; a second lens unit having a negative refracting power; a third lens unit having a positive refracting power; and a fourth lens unit having a positive refracting power. At the time of zooming from a wide angle end to a telephoto end, each of distances between the first lens unit and the second lens unit, between the second lens unit and the third lens unit, and between the third lens unit and the fourth lens unit is changed, and the first lens unit is moved. The first lens unit includes a lens component having positive refracting power, a total number of lens components included in the first lens unit is one, and the third lens unit includes five lens elements.
