Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus having a touch panel mounted on a display unit on the rear side of its housing is provided with a posture detection unit; a first gripping unit positioned on side of the housing when the posture is a normal position; a second gripping unit positioned on side of the housing when the posture is a vertical position; a first operating member operable by a finger of a hand that is gripping the first gripping unit; a second operating member operable by a finger of a hand that is gripping the second gripping unit; and a control unit that displays a first button for deactivating operations from the second operating member on the display screen, and receives input to the first button via the touch panel. The display position of the first button on the display unit is set based on a first virtual circle for which the center point has been set in the range of the first gripping unit or the second gripping unit, and the radius of the first virtual circle is a tangential line that reaches from the center point to the outer edge of the display unit, cutting across the display unit.
