This invention comprises an image-sensing means for converting image to an electrical signal; a mode selection means for letting a user select a mode of common object photographing or a mode of fingerprint photographing; a lens means for functioning as a wide-angle lens that photographs a common object image when a user selects a mode of common object photographing, and for functioning as a close-up lens that photographs a fingerprint image when a user selects a mode of fingerprint photographing; a storage means for storing image data output from the image-sensing means; and a sending means for sending the image data output from the image-sensing means to the exterior.
