An electronic device, such as mobile terminal devices, with a photographing function, and in the case where a photographing target is a person, enhances its function for protecting the photographing target from being photographed without consent by such as spy shots. This can be realized by an electronic device with a photographing function comprising a target judging part for judging whether the photographing target is a person or not; a photographing inquiry part for issuing an inquiry information for approval/disapproval of the photographing based on the judgment result of the target judging part if the target is a person and making an inquiry for the target about whether the photographing is approved or not with the inquiry information; a response information acquisition part (for acquiring a response information issued from the target; and a photographing control part for outputting in response to the inquiry information either a photographing approval information representing an approval of photographing the target or a photographing prohibition information representing a ban of photographing the target, based on the response information the response information acquisition part has acquired.
