Abstract
An ophthalmic imaging apparatus has a first storage means that stores image data acquired from an eye being examined. The apparatus further has a second storage means that is slower than the first storage means and is used to hold image data transferred from the first storage means. It is determined whether or not the imaging of the eye is performed in a specific continuous imaging mode. If it is determined that the system is in the continuous imaging mode, the transfer of image data from the first to second storage means is held back until the continuous imaging mode terminates. Otherwise the transfer of image data is carried out for each imaging operation.
Claims10
An ophthalmic imaging apparatus comprising:
- a first storage means that stores image data from a subject eye imaged by an electronic imaging means;
- a second storage means that is slower than the first storage means and records image data transferred from the first storage means;
- means for determining whether or not the eye is imaged by the electronic imaging means in a specific continuous imaging mode;
- and
- means responsive to said determination for controlling transfer timing of image data from the first storage means to the second storage means.
