An imaging system is provided that is capable of controlling a photographic operation to provide favorable images of a fundus (Er) of an eye (E) to be examined. When a normal photographic mode is selected, a single operation of a shutter button (66) causes a single trigger signal (S1) to be generated. On the other hand, when a stereo photographic mode is selected, a single operation of a shutter button (66) causes two trigger signals (S1) to be generated in succession. The generated trigger signal (S1) triggers a switching device (90) so that a position of a photographic stop (31) is automatically switched to a position predetermined for the photographic mode, and the photographic light source (15) is caused to emit light a number of times that corresponds to the selected photographic mode. In such a configuration, fundus images are automatically produced a set number of times by a single operation of the shutter. Therefore, a high-quality fundus image can be obtained without concerns that an appropriate moment to capture an image will be missed.
