Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a pointed-position detecting section that accepts a pointing operation via an operating surface provided on a display screen of an image display device, and detects and outputs a position pointed at by the pointing operation on the operating surface. The image processing apparatus also includes a display control section that displays on the image display device an image. The display control section controls the image display device to display a first size image for a predetermined time while the pointing operation continues and then displays a plurality of images having a size smaller than the first size in response to a determination that the pointing operation has held the position for the predetermined time.
