To enhance the holding property of a portable terminal at the time of photographing by a simple structure in the portable terminal such as a cellular telephone with a camera.

A first unit 1 having the camera 11 and a liquid crystal monitor 12 is rotatably linked with a second unit 2 having a group 21 of operation buttons by a hinge member 3. When the first unit 1 is at a first position where the liquid crystal monitor 12 is located right above the group 21 of operation buttons, the cellular phone 10 with camera is switched to a communication mode. When the first unit 1 is at a second position rotated from the first position at 90 degrees, the cellular phone 10 with camera is switched to a shooting mode. Since the cellular phone 10 with camera is gripped by both hands when the first unit 1 is at the second position, the holding property of the cellular phone 10 with camera is enhanced and blurring at the time of shooting is prevented.
