• and
• controlling,
• (a) in a first case where the first item has been selected by the selecting and a touch-down operation is detected in the area of the first item by the detecting, to change a setting value corresponding to the first item in response to the move operation in the first direction continuing from the touch-down operation, and not to change the selected item in response to the move operation in the second direction continuing from the touch-down operation,
• (b) in a second case where the second item has been selected by the selecting and a touch-down operation is detected in the area of the second item by the detecting, the selecting to change the selected item in response to the move operation in the second direction continuing from the touch-down operation, and
• (c) in a third case where the first item has not been selected by the selecting and the touch-down operation for the display screen is detected in the area of the first item by the detecting, to control the selecting not to change the setting value corresponding to the first item even if the move operation in the first direction continuing from the touch-down operation is performed, and to control the selecting to change the selected item in response to the move operation in the second direction continuing from the touch-down operation.
