Abstract
A photographing optical system photographs an object as an image. A data processing section converts an optical image of the object photographed by the photographing optical system into digital image data, and records the converted image data. A display section displayed the image data converted by the data processing section. A distance measuring section measures a distance to the object at a predetermined distance measurement point. An external operating member is capable of externally operating a state of the electronic photographing apparatus. A specification section specifies at least one point of the image displayed at the display section. A control section changes the predetermined distance measurement point caused by the distance measuring section based on information specified by the specification section and an operation caused by the external operating member.
