In recent years, with the rise of portable electronic devices having camera functionalities, the demand for an optical image capturing system is raised gradually. The image sensing device of ordinary photographing camera is commonly selected from charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor sensor (CMOS Sensor). In addition, as advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology enables the minimization of pixel size of the image sensing device, the development of the optical image capturing system directs towards the field of high pixels. Therefore, the requirement for high imaging quality is rapidly raised.

The length of the outline curve of any surface of a signal lens element in the maximum effective half diameter position affects the functions of the surface aberration correction and the optical path difference in each view field. The longer outline curve may lead to a better function of aberration correction, but the difficulty of the production may become inevitable. Hence, the length of the outline curve of the maximum effective half diameter position of any surface of a signal lens element (ARS) has to be controlled, and especially, the ratio relations (ARS/TP) between the length of the outline curve of the maximum effective half diameter position of the surface (ARS) and the thickness of the lens element to which the surface belongs on the optical axis (TP) has to be controlled.

The ratio relations between the lengths of the outline curve of the maximum effective half diameter position of any surface of the other lens elements and the thicknesses of the lens elements to which the surfaces belong on the optical axis (TP) are denoted in the similar way.
The length of outline curve of half of an entrance pupil diameter of any surface of a single lens element especially affects the functions of the surface aberration correction and the optical path difference in each shared view field. The longer outline curve may lead to a better function of aberration correction, but the difficulty of the production may become inevitable.

The optical image capturing system described above is applicable to the demand of video recording with above millions or ten millions-pixels (e.g. 4K2K or the so-called UHD and QHD) and leads to a good imaging quality.
The height of optical system (HOS) may be reduced to achieve the minimization of the optical image capturing system when the absolute value of f1 is larger than f1(|f1|>f4).
When |f2|+|f3|>|f1|+|f4| are satisfied with above relations, at least one of the second through third lens elements may have weak positive refractive power or weak negative refractive power. The weak refractive power indicates that an absolute value of the focal length of a specific lens element is greater than 10. When at least one of the second through third lens elements has the weak positive refractive power, the positive refractive power of the first lens element can be shared, such that the unnecessary aberration will not appear too early. On the contrary, when at least one of the second and third lens elements has the weak negative refractive power, the aberration of the optical image capturing system can be corrected and fine tuned.
The fourth lens element may have positive refractive power. In addition, at least one of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the fourth lens element may have at least one inflection point, such that the angle of incident with incoming light from an off-axis view field can be suppressed effectively and the aberration in the off-axis view field can be corrected further.
