Abstract
By rotating a second camera () by a hinge () by 180 degrees so as to obtain an opening state, the second camerafaces a surface side. As a result, a first camera () and the second camera () are aligned horizontally, and use the same direction as a photographing range. When the second camera () is rotated, a system controller determines that a state is in a stereoscopic vision photographing mode. When a camera shutter is operated by a user, both the first camera () and the second camera () are allowed to perform a photographing process, and obtained two image data are stored in a memory after being attached to information indicating that the image is for the right eye and the image is for the left eye, and etc. Then, the two image data are transmitted by an e-mail function to a terminal of a communicating partner.
