An LCD panel provided in a rear surface of the camera body is arranged such that longitudinal directions of the display screen and the camera body correspond to each other. The digital camera is operated through a touch panel provided in a lower portion of the display screen. In a taking mode, an image is displayed in a small size on an upper portion of the display screen. In reproducing, the camera body is rotated sideways by 90 degree. In a reproducing mode, display posture of the image is also rotated by 90 degree, and the image is displayed in a large size on the entire display screen. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus comprising: a body having a rectangular board shape; a display panel provided on a first surface of the body, having a function of touch detection, and displaying a first key; and a second key arranged on a second surface of the body, the second surface differing from the first surface, wherein the first surface has a flat shape, wherein the second surface protrudes from the first surface when viewing the display panel, wherein the apparatus has a plurality of operating modes, wherein when one of the plurality of operating modes changes into another of the plurality of operating modes, a function of the second key changes, and wherein photography is performed by touching the first key. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of operating modes have a taking mode for recording an image and a set-up mode for various settings. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein a function of the second key in the taking mode is a zoom function. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein a function of the second key in the set-up mode is moving an image object. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the image object is a cursor. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising: a first button arranged on the first surface, wherein photography is performed by pressing the first button. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the body has a third surface opposite to the first surface, wherein a lens for taking photography is provided on the third surface, wherein the body of the rectangular board shape has a longitudinal direction, and wherein in the longitudinal direction, the lens, the second key and the first key are arranged in this order. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the first key is displayed on a first side in the longitudinal direction, and the lens is provided on a second side in the longitudinal direction which is opposite to the first side with respect to a center of the body. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the second key is disposed between the lens and the first key in the longitudinal direction. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The apparatus according to claim 9 further comprising: a first button arranged on the first surface, wherein photography is performed by pressing the first button, and wherein in the longitudinal direction, the first button is disposed between the lens and the first key. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the apparatus has a first taking mode and a second taking mode for recording an image, and a first reproducing mode and a second reproducing mode for reproducing an image on the display panel, wherein the first taking mode and the first reproducing mode are modes in which a longitudinal direction of the display panel is perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of an image, and wherein the second taking mode and the second reproducing mode are modes in which the longitudinal direction of the display panel corresponds the longitudinal direction of an image. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the lens and the display panel face each other. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a size of the body in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the body is a size that can be grasped with one hand. ### Claim 14 (depends on 2) The apparatus according to claim 2, wherein a size of the body in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the body is a size that can be grasped with one hand. ### Claim 15 (depends on 3) The apparatus according to claim 3, wherein a size of the body in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the body is a size that can be grasped with one hand. ### Claim 16 (depends on 4) The apparatus according to claim 4, wherein a size of the body in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the body is a size that can be grasped with one hand. ### Claim 17 (depends on 5) The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein a size of the body in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the body is a size that can be grasped with one hand. ### Claim 18 (depends on 6) The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein a size of the body in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of the body is a size that can be grasped with one hand. ### Claim 19 (depends on 7) The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein a size of the body in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the body is a size that can be grasped with one hand. ### Claim 20 (depends on 8) The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein a size of the body in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the body is a size that can be grasped with one hand.
