That is, only the object-side surface of the filter 2 may be concave, only the image-side surface of the filter 2 may be concave, or both the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the filter 2 may be concave. This arrangement makes it possible to increase the shooting angle by making the light transmitted through the filter 2 divergent. The image sensor 3 is arranged on the image side of the optical filter 2, and the light sensing surface of the image sensor 3 is a concave surface. The light sensing surface of the image sensor 3 is a surface of the image sensor 3 close to the object side.
