PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ocular fundus photographing apparatus capable of obtaining excellent photographed images and yet suppressing loads on a subject, while performing multiple times of photographing.SOLUTION: The ocular fundus photographing apparatus comprises: an illumination optical system for illuminating the ocular fundus of a subject eye with visible light； a photographing optical system comprising an imaging device for photographing the ocular fundus illuminated by the illumination optical system； lighting control means for controlling the illumination light quantity of visible light； signal amplification means for amplifying the photograph signals obtained by the imaging device； a setting unit for setting a collective photographing mode in which the subject eye is photographed in the order of first photographing and then second photographing using the photographing optical system； and control means for controlling the lighting control means and the signal amplification means. When the collective photographing mode is set by the setting unit and the second photographing takes place, the control means exerts control such that the signal amplification means amplifies the photograph signals further compared with the photograph signals for the first photographing and that the lighting control means reduces the illumination light quantity for the second photographing further compared with the illumination light quantity for the first photographing.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7【課題】 複数回の撮影において被検者の負担を抑制しつつ、好適な撮影画像を得ることのできる眼底撮影装置を提供する。【解決手段】 眼底撮影装置は、被検者眼の眼底を可視光で照明する照明光学系と、撮像素子を有し、照明光学系により照明された眼底を撮影する撮影光学系と、可視光の照明光量を調節する調光手段と、撮像素子にて得られる撮影信号を増幅させる信号増幅手段と、撮影光学系を用いて、第１の撮影、第２の撮影の順で被検者眼を撮影する一括撮影モードを設定する設定部と、調光手段と信号増幅手段を制御する制御手段とを備えている。設定部により一括撮影モードが設定された場合、制御手段は第２の撮影の際には、信号増幅手段を用いて第１の撮影時における撮影信号よりも撮影信号を増幅させる制御を行うとともに，調光手段を用いて第２の撮影の際の照明光量を第１の撮影時の照明光量よりも減光させる制御を行う。【選択図】 図７
