A communication terminal apparatus (1) includes a first case (41) and a second case (42) which are collapsibly connected to each other and has a pickup lens (31) and a display unit (18) which can be viewed with a field of view identical to the lens. A user can take a picture of himself/herself while checking his/her image itself through the display unit and easily can select a composition as he/she intends, which in turn reduces the number of failures. The pickup image is displayed as a mirror image and the user can check the image with the same sense as when looking at a mirror without feeling a strange feeling.
