A rear side of an electronic camera is provided with an LCD to display a taken image. When a user does not touch the LCD, the taken image is displayed on an entire screen of the LCD. When the user touches the LCD, a contact position is detected by a touch sensor. A display area of the taken image is determined so as to evade the contact position. Under a first display mode, the display area is determined so as to have an aspect ratio identical with that of the taken image and so as to be maximized. The taken image to be displayed is reduced in a size corresponding to the display area. Under a second display mode, the display area is determined so as to have a maximum rectangular shape. The taken image of which a region protruding from the display area is cropped is displayed.
