The invention discloses a photographic optical lens set, an image capturing apparatus and an electronic apparatus. The photographic optical lens set sequentially comprises a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens and a fifth lens from the object side to the image side, wherein the first lens has negative refraction power, the image side surface of the first lens is a recessed surface, the second lens has negative refraction power, the image side surface of the second lens is a recessed surface, the third lens has positive refraction power, the fourth lens has positive refraction power, the image side surface of the fourth lens is a convex surface, the object side surface and the image side surface of the fourth lens are aspheric, and the fifth lens has negative refraction power, the object side surface of the fifth lens is a recessed surface, the image side surface of the fifth lens is a convex surface, the object side surface and the image side surface of the fifth lens are aspheric. When specific conditions are met, the photographic optical lens set has sufficient refraction power to shorten the back focal distance. The invention further discloses an image capturing apparatus employing the photographic optical lens set and an electronic apparatus employing the image capturing apparatus.
