Electronic device, server, display system, and electronic device display control method

An electronic device including an action section that performs an action to generate an image using a medium, the electronic device comprising:

• a display section configured to display a setting screen that is to be visually checked by a user after setting an image generation condition, which is a condition for generating the image;
• an operation section configured to enable an operation on the setting screen;
• a storage section configured to store one or more pieces of first display data to display a first setting screen, which is one display mode of the setting screen;
• a communication section connectable via a network to a server storing one or more pieces of second display data that enables display of a second setting screen, which is another display mode of the setting screen;
• and
• a control section that controls the display section, wherein
• the control section
• when a second operation of selecting a selected section in the first setting screen is received by the operation section while the first setting screen based on the first display data is being displayed on the display section, sends second operation position information that indicates an operation position of the second operation to the server and
• causes the first setting screen and the second setting screen, which is based on the second display data received from the server as a response to the second operation position information, to be simultaneously displayed, in a split manner, on the display section.
