To provide radiographic equipment for carrying out long-length photography at a plurality of photography positions by transferring an FPD (flat panel display) which shortens photographing time for the photography by shortening a transfer time of the FPD.

Conventionally, the FPD 12 is moved from a predetermined first fixed position to a predetermined second fixed position determined routinely on the basis of the size of the FPD 12 in the long-length photography direction. In the radiographic equipment, however, a moving amount calculation means 9 calculates the position of a moving side end part of the FPD 12 at a final photographing position on the basis of an interest region of a subject M. A moving means 11 then moves the moving side end part of the FPD 12 to the calculated position so as to move the FPD 12 to the final photographing position quickly and to shorten photographing time. Especially, when a calculated final move distance L3 for moving the FPD to the final photographing position is shorter than the distance L4 of an effective detection region of the FPD 12 in the long-length photography direction, the moving side end part of the FPD 12 is moved quickly for the calculated move distance L3 to shorten photographing time.
