Abstract:
1. An ophthalmic photographing apparatus for photographing a tomographic image of an eye, comprising: an interference optical system including: a first driving part that moves an optical member arranged in one of the measurement optical path and the reference optical path in an optical-axis direction in order to adjust an optical-path difference between the measurement optical path and the reference optical path; an image obtaining part that is connected to the detector and obtains a tomographic image of a fundus in a fundus photographing mode and a tomographic image of an anterior segment in an anterior segment photographing mode based on a light receiving signal output from the detector; and a driving control unit that controls driving of the first driving part in the case of the fundus photographing mode and driving of the first driving part to locate the optical member in a predetermined position corresponding to the anterior segment photographing mode in the case of the anterior segment photographing mode.
