Abstract
The present invention prevents unnecessary imaging operations when imaging is not required to be performed. In the present invention, a display panel includes a touch panel provided on the top surface thereof. An image sensor of an imaging section captures an image. A gyro sensor detects the movement of an imaging device. When the movement of the imaging device is detected by the gyro sensor, a control section prohibits an imaging operation by the imaging section in response to a touch operation performed on the touch panel. Conversely, when the movement of the imaging device is not detected by the gyro sensor, the control section performs an imaging operation by the imaging section in response to a touch operation on the touch panel.
