Abstract
An eye-fundus camera provides change-over and selection between automatic focusing and manual focusing. The eye-fundus camera includes a projector, a photo-sensor array, a focus controller and an illuminator. The projector projects a first focus mark and a second focus mark on the fundus of an eye to be examined. The photo-sensor array detects the first focus mark reflected from the fundus and the output from the sensor array is introduced into the controller to adjust the focus of the camera. The illuminator illuminates the fundus uniformly with light within a first wavelength range. The first focus mark is with light within the first wavelength range and within a second wavelength range other than the first one whereas the second focus mark is formed only of light within the first wavelength range. The eye-fundus camera further comprises a wavelength selecting mirror which cuts off light of the first wavelength range among rays of light incident upon the photo-sensor array.
