Abstract: A wearable terminal apparatus to be worn by a user for use includes a camera and at least one processor. The camera images a space as a visible region of the user. The at least one processor identifies, as a capture region, a part of the visible region in the space imaged by the camera, based on a first gesture operation of the user, and stores a capture image corresponding to the capture region in a storage unit. This allows a part of the visible region desired by the user to be stored as the capture image in the storage unit and thus can improve the user convenience.
