However, in such a conventional image pickup apparatus, the examinee takes an image of an upright human body with a small measurement error because the upright direction is larger than the width direction of the body. In order to do so, it is necessary to arrange the lighting device 1 and the photographing device 2 at a constant distance.

For this reason, in the conventional photographing device, the illumination device 1 and the photographing device 2 are installed with a predetermined distance therebetween, and then fixed to the floor surface.

However, it is difficult to say that the space efficiency is good if the lighting device 1 and the photographing device 2 are fixed to the floor surface when not in use.

It is also conceivable to release the fixing to the floor and store one device adjacent to the other device or housed. However, in such a method, when it is used again, the distance between the lighting device 1 and the imaging device 2 must be reset by using a separately prepared measuring instrument (for example, a tape measure, a ruler, etc.), It was hard to say that the work efficiency was good.

Further, the light cases 5 in the box 3 of the illumination device 1 are arranged so as to surround the examinee.

Therefore, the illumination device 1 itself becomes large,
There was also a problem that the space efficiency was not good.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a photographing device which can improve the space efficiency and can accurately set the distance between the lighting device and the photographing device.
