Information processing apparatus and the boot program to be executed in it

An object of the present invention is to so that a plurality of types of photographing function can be activated by a simple operation. An information processing apparatus stores in advance photographing application program. The information processing apparatus includes an imaging processing unit having a function different from that of the above-described photographing application program. In startup acceptance state, the information processing apparatus accepts a first start operation and for starting a plurality of application programs selectively, a photographable operation of setting the state photographable state of the information processing apparatus. In photographable state, and it executes the photographing process by the photographing processing means receives the second start operation to start the photographing application program. .FIELD 4
