In this example, FIG. 13 illustrates an example in which an icon group 71, an icon group 72, an icon group 73, a self-timer icon 80, and a live-view image of the subject 2 are displayed on the display section 12. As the self-timer icon 80, a shooting mode icon 81 and a countdown icon 82 may be provided. The shooting mode icon 81 represents that the shooting mode is set to the self-timer mode. The countdown icon 82 represents passage of time in the self-timer mode. The countdown icon 82 may display the passage of time in a countdown scheme on a second unit basis, for example.

The display section pivoting sensing section 107 may include a sensor for detecting a state of the display section 12. The display section pivoting sensing section 107 is at least configured to detect whether the display section 12 is in the first state (in which the display surface 12A is oriented backward) or the second state (in which the display surface 12A is oriented forward).
