Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion and an operation portion that inputs information on image formation by a first mode in which the operation portion detects a position of an instruction portion being in contact with a surface of a display portion or a second mode in which the operation portion detects a position of the instruction portion at a position away from the surface by a predetermined distance. The operation portion displays as an operation screen a first image including icons on the display portion in the first mode, and displays as the operation screen a second image different in layout of icons from the first image on the display portion in the second mode. The icons included in the second image are larger in size than the icons included in the first image.
