In a case where an operation is performed while viewing the in-finder display unit 76, when a touch operation is performed in the absolute coordinate setting, the touch panel 70a (the display unit 28) is touched without viewing the touch panel 70a, and therefore, it is highly likely that the touch operation is performed in a position shifted from a desired position. On the other hand, when the touch operation is performed in the relative coordinate setting, an instruction for a shift is issued in accordance with a shift mount instead of a position of the touch operation, and therefore, an instruction for a shift to the desired position may be issued by an operation of a shift to the desired position while viewing a position of an operation target displayed in the in-finder display unit 76. Note that, a function of accepting a touch operation by the touch panel 70a is referred to as a touchpad function although an image is not displayed in the display unit 28.

The system controller 50 may detect following operations on the touch panel 70a or following states of the touch panel 70a.

• A finger or a pen which has not been touched on the touch panel has just touched the touch panel, that is, start of a touch (hereinafter referred to as Touch-Down).
• A state in which the touch panel is touched by a finger or a pen (hereinafter referred to as Touch-On).
• A finger or a pen is shifted while touching the touch panel (hereinafter referred to as Touch-Move).
• A finger or a pen which has touched the touch panel is separated from the touch panel, that is, an end of a touch (hereinafter referred to as Touch-Up).
