To suppress misoperations, and to reduce the number of operating parts.

By operating a zoom button 15 when photographing, an information processing apparatus can consecutively change the focal distance of a photographic lens 3. By changing the focal distance, the information processing apparatus changes the magnification power of the image of an object indicated on a liquid crystal display (LCD) as an electronic viewfinder (when the focal distance is extended to magnify and display the object, or when the focal distance is shortened to reduce and display the object). When the zoom button 15 is operated, while reproducing and indicating a recorded image on the LCD, however, the displayed reproduced image is magnified or reduced.
