An ophthalmologic photographing apparatus includes a determination unit configured to determine, using the detected information, whether or not an imaging area for imaging an eye is beyond an edge of a predetermined range of movement of the eye to be examined, and a tracking control unit configured to track the imaging area using the detected information, in a case where an imaging mode different from a follow-up imaging mode is selected and the imaging area is determined not to be beyond the edge, to not track the imaging area, in a case where an imaging mode different from the follow-up imaging mode is selected and the imaging area is determined to be beyond the edge, and to track, using the detected information, the imaging area without making the determination by the determination unit, in a case where the follow-up imaging mode is selected.
