Abstract
A CPU of a mobile telephone can carry out both a standby operation for monitoring an incoming call addressed to the mobile telephone and an image processing operation for processing an image captured by a camera. When a camera-dedicated mode is selected, the standby operation is prohibited during an image capture operation of the camera. When the image captured by the camera is processed, negative effects of the standby operation on the process of the image captured by the camera can be avoided. In this manner, the image captured by the camera can be smoothly, appropriately processed, enhancing the operability of the mobile telephone.
