Abstract

An operator can freely and easily designate a region, which the operator wishes to extract as an image to be outputted from an image, by designating the position and size of a region setting frame by using an enlargement/reduction handle. Accordingly, no carrier or mask is required for this purpose, and the number of parts required can be reduced. Operability at the time of cropping an image can also be improved greatly. Further, by operating rotation buttons and 90°-rotation keys, the operator can, with simple operations, rotate an image displayed as a test image and can freely and easily designate an image within the region setting frame, i.e., an image to be outputted.
