To provide a camera-equipped mobile information terminal that can automatically suppress occurrence of flickers.
A CPU control section 7 acquires the latitude/longitude data of the current position of the terminal from a GPS antenna 10 and a GPS control section 9. A memory 7M stores the latitude/longitude data of an arbitrary number of points on a border line obtained from modeling a border line of actual commercial power frequencies by an approximate line in the form of a table. The CPU control section 7 references/compares entered latitude data with latitude data in the table, discriminates between which points on the model border line the current point of the terminal exists, discriminates the commercial power frequency of an area where the terminal is in use, through comparison processing between the longitude information of the two points obtained and the entered longitude data and sets the time which is an integral multiple of the period of the frequency, to the storage time of a CMOS imaging element of a camera 1.
