The present invention relates to a portable electronic apparatus (1) which comprises a frame (2) having a first side (2a) and a second side (2b) at the larger opposed surfaces, which are connected by a peripheral wall (2c), said frame (2) having such as size as to be held in at least one user's hand, a display screen (3) on said first side (2a), a plurality of pushbuttons (4) on the first side (2a), said second side (2b) and/or said peripheral wall (2c), a camera (5) associated with said frame (2), said camera (5) being operable by pressing at least one pushbutton (4a) of said plurality of pushbuttons (4), a mass storage device (6) located within said frame (2) and used to store a code of a video game program, a processor (7) located within said frame (2) and in signal communication with said mass storage device (6), said camera (5) and said display screen (3), said code of said video game program being adapted to be implemented by said processor (7). The characterizing feature is that a code of an image processing program (11) is stored in said mass storage device (6) and that said code of said image processing program (11) is designed to be implemented by said processor (7), the latter being adapted to a) confirm that said at least one pushbutton (4a) has been pressed; b) determine the time (T) during which said pushbutton (4a) is held depressed and whether such time (T) is longer than a predetermined time value; c) operate said camera (5) for taking a picture, and d) execute said code of said image processing program (11), wherein this includes the steps of: dl) selecting a portion (19) of the picture that has been taken, d2) combining the selected portion (19) with a default graphical representation (18) for generating a composite image (21) and e) incorporating said composite image (21) into the context of said video game program for said composite image (21) to be also displayed on said display screen (3) during execution. |
