Abstract

The optical system capable of performing zooming includes a first lens unit and a second lens unit and satisfies conditions of |(ΔTMyu+ΔTMyl)/(ΔWMyu+ΔWMyl)|<0.67 and 0.75<|(ΔWMyu+ΔWMyl)|/2P<16.0. ΔWMyu represents a lateral aberration amount for a d-line of a 70 percent upper ray reaching an 80 percent image height at a wide-angle side middle focal length, ΔWMyl represents a lateral aberration amount for the d-line of a 70 percent lower ray reaching the 80 percent image height at the wide-angle side middle focal length, ΔTMyu represents a lateral aberration amount for the d-line of the 70 percent upper ray reaching the 80 percent image height at a telephoto side middle focal length, ΔTMyl represents a lateral aberration amount for the d-line of the 70 percent lower ray reaching the 80 percent image height at the telephoto side middle focal length, and P represents a pixel pitch of the image sensor.
