Long pressing by which the side controller is pressed for a predetermined time or longer shifts the current display screen to a given processing mode to display a given display screen corresponding to the processing mode. Short pressing by which the side controller is pressed for the predetermined time shifts the current display screen to the other display screen different from the given display screen. The long pressing of the side controller triggers a shift, for example, to a processing mode independent of operation buttons displayed on the current display screen. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
