The radiography apparatus includes: an irradiation unit having an irradiation opening through which radiation is emitted; an image receiving unit that has an image receiving surface receiving the radiation emitted from the irradiation unit; an arm that has one end at which the irradiation unit is rotatably supported and the other end at which the image receiving unit is supported in a posture in which the irradiation opening and the image receiving surface face each other; a solenoid that locks the rotation of the irradiation unit with respect to the arm in a facing posture in which the irradiation opening and the image receiving surface face each other; and a control unit that permits the moving image capture irradiation in a state in which the rotation of the irradiation unit is locked and prohibits the moving image capture irradiation in a state in which the rotation is unlocked.
