Claim:
1. An electronic device, comprising: a display section that displays an object; a touch panel that detects a touch input of an indicator; a touch determination circuit that determines a manipulation instructed by the detected touch input; and a scroll control circuit that performs, when a manipulation including a flicking of the indicator in a predetermined scrolling direction is determined to be instructed, scrolling the object in a direction corresponding to the predetermined scrolling direction, wherein, when a special scrolling manipulation is determined to be instructed, the scrolling in the direction corresponding to the predetermined scrolling direction is performed faster and/or for a longer distance than when a normal scrolling manipulation is determined to be instructed, the special scrolling manipulation is a flicking of the indicator in the predetermined scrolling direction for a flicking distance to a first threshold following a sliding of the indicator in a direction opposite to the predetermined scrolling direction for a sliding distance longer than a second predetermined threshold, during the sliding of the indicator in the direction opposite to the predetermined scrolling direction the object scrolls in the direction opposite to the direction corresponding to the predetermined scrolling direction, the flicking distance to the first threshold having a length less than the sliding distance longer than the second predetermined threshold, and the normal scrolling manipulation is a flicking of the indicator in the predetermined scrolling direction without following a sliding of the indicator in the direction opposite to the predetermined scrolling direction for the sliding distance longer than the second predetermined threshold.
