PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fundus camera that facilitates adjustment of illumination light quantity and focusing even if brightness of the fundus of the eye is different for each optometry.SOLUTION: For a fundus camera, there are included: an illumination means for illuminating the fundus oculi in optometry a photometry means for measuring reflection light from the fundus oculi part under the illumination by the illumination means an illumination light quantity control means for controlling the light quantity of the illumination means a focus detection range determination means for determining a focus detection range relative to a fundus image picked up by an imaging means and a focus detection means for detecting a focus position in a range determined by the focus detection range determination means. A photometry value of the focus detection range is calculated by the photometry means and, on the basis of the photometry value, an illumination light quantity is to be controlled.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 被検眼ごとに眼底の明るさが異なる場合であっても、照明光量の調整と合焦とに要する時間をとらない眼底カメラを提供する。【解決手段】 眼底カメラに対して、被検眼の眼底を照明する照明手段と、該照明手段による照明下での眼底部からの反射光を測光する測光手段と、該照明手段の光量を制御する照明光量制御手段と、撮像手段に撮像される眼底像に対して合焦検出範囲を決定する合焦検出範囲決定手段と、該合焦検出範囲決定手段で決定された範囲において合焦位置を検出する合焦検出手段とを配し、測光手段によって合焦検出範囲の測光値を算出し、該測光値に基づいて照明光量を制御することとする。【選択図】 図6
