PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ophthalmologic photography apparatus for achieving a proper defocused state early in a split AF even immediately after the transfer to an eye-ground observation state.SOLUTION: If it is decided by focal state decision means at a focal state detection time immediately after the shift to an eye-ground observation state that a defocusing quantity is at or more than a predetermined value, an eye-ground observation illumination is extinguished, and, if it is decided that the focal state immediately before photography has been obtained, the inspector is enabled to confirm the eye-ground state immediately before photography by lighting the eye-ground observation illumination.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 スプリットAFにおいて、眼底観察状態移行直後であっても、好適なデフォーカス状態を早期に得る眼科撮影装置を提供する。【解決手段】 眼底観察状態移行直後の焦点状態検出時であって、合焦判定手段によりデフォーカス量が所定値以上であると判定された場合には眼底観察照明を消灯し、撮影直前の合焦状態が得られていると判定された場合には、眼底観察照明を点灯することで検者は撮影直前の眼底状態を確認することが可能となる。【選択図】 図1
