To provide a fundus imaging apparatus capable of imaging a preferable fundus picture while quickly completing alignment adjustment between the apparatus and a subject's eye.SOLUTION: A fundus imaging apparatus 1 comprises: a front face imaging optical system 200 that irradiates a fundus of a subject's eye E with illumination light and, on the basis of return light of the illumination light from the fundus, images a fundus picture； and a control unit 70. The control unit 70 detects an effective range corresponding to at least any of the subject's eye's pupil state, eyelid opening state, and the subject's face shape, the effective range being a range of an imaging range of the front face imaging optical system 200 in which the return light from the fundus can be acquired effectively and compares a detected value of the effective range with a reference value that is with respect to the effective range and is predetermined.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8【課題】装置と被検眼とのアライメント調整を速やかに完了しつつ、良好な眼底画像を撮影できる眼底撮影装置を提供すること。【解決手段】眼底撮影装置１は、照明光を被検眼Ｅの眼底へ照射すると共に、照明光の眼底からの戻り光に基づいて眼底画像を撮影する正面撮影光学系２００と、制御部７０と、を有する。制御部７０は、正面撮影光学系２００における撮影範囲のうち有効に眼底からの戻り光が得られる有効範囲であって、被検眼における瞳孔の状態，開瞼状態，および，被検者の顔面形状のうち、少なくともいずれかに応じた有効範囲を検出し、有効範囲の基準値であって、事前に定められた基準値と、有効範囲の検出値とを比較する。【選択図】図８
