Abstract: A display portion 3 and a camera portion 4 are disposed in a main body 1. A housing of the main body 1 is made of an non-electroconductive material. One side surface of the main body 1 is an information input surface 5 of an input apparatus. Disposed in the housing on the side surface of the information input surface is a light, thin-film shaped electrostatic sensor. By moving a finger tip 6 on the information input surface 5 upward and downward while contacting thereon, a cursor moves on the display portion 3. Tap positions U, C, and L into which the information input surface 5 is divided in its height direction are defined. When each tap position is lightly tapped one time, releasing and touching states of the finger tip 6 are detected by the sensor and a tap operation is recognized. The tap operation includes a confirmation of a menu at the cursor position, a shutter operation, and so forth. The difference of tap positions can be detected by the sensor.
