Patent ID: 7798642

Claim:
A fundus camera comprising: an illumination unit including: an invisible light generating unit configured to irradiate light of an invisible light region for observing a fundus of a subject's eye with invisible light; a visible photographing light generating unit configured to irradiate light of a visible light region for photographing the fundus with visible light; and a near-infrared cut filter configured to be insertable into an optical path during photographing of a still image of the fundus; a focusing unit configured to adjust focus on the fundus based on a reflection image from the fundus illuminated by the illumination unit; an imaging unit configured to capture a fundus image formed from reflection light from the fundus, the imaging unit having sensitivity to both light of the visible light region and light of a near-infrared light region and being capable of outputting a moving image and a still image; an optical path splitting unit located between the focusing unit and the imaging unit, having characteristics of reflecting light of the visible light region and of transmitting near-infrared light, and configured to be retreatable from the optical path during photographing of a still image; and an internal fixation target indicating unit located at a position that is substantially conjugate with a position of the fundus on a reflection optical path of the optical path splitting unit and configured to guide a direction of a line of sight of the subject's eye.
