a first camera contained in the housing; and

a second camera contained in the housing, wherein the second camera takes a still image while the first camera takes a video; and

at least one processor configured to determine whether or not the portable electronic apparatus is located in a predetermined position while the first camera takes a video, wherein the portable electronic apparatus is configured to be carried by a user while the first camera takes the video, and

wherein the second camera automatically takes a still image in response to the at least one processor determining that the electronic apparatus is located in the predetermined position while the first camera takes a video.

2. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electronic apparatus comprises a display, and

the second camera takes a still image when the display displays a video during shooting, which is a video being taken with the first camera.

3. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the electronic apparatus comprises an operation detector configured to detect an operation on a display screen of the display, and

the display displays a through image taken with the second camera when the operation detector detects a first predetermined operation in a state where the display displays the video during shooting.

4. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein when the operation detector detects a second predetermined operation on the through image displayed by the display, the second camera zooms a shooting range of the second camera.

5. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the portable electronic apparatus comprises an operation detector configured to detect an operation on a display screen of the display, and

the display displays a second through image taken with the second camera when the operation detector detects a first predetermined operation in a state where the display displays a first through image taken with the first camera.

6. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the display displays the first and second through images when the operation detector detects the first predetermined operation in a state where the display displays the first through image.

7. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein when the operation detector detects a second predetermined operation on the second through image displayed by the display, the second camera zooms a shooting range of the second camera.

8. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a notification unit configured to notify a user when the at least one processor determines that the electronic apparatus is located in the predetermined position while the first camera takes a video.

9. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the portable electronic apparatus has a shooting allowed mode, in which the second camera can take a still image, and a no shooting allowed mode, in which the second camera does not take a still image, as an operation mode,

when the at least one processor does not determine that the portable electronic apparatus is located in the predetermined position while the first camera takes a video, the operation mode is set to the no shooting allowed mode, and

when the at least one processor determines that the portable electronic apparatus is located in a predetermined position while the first camera takes a video, the operation mode is set to the shooting allowed mode.

10. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the portable electronic apparatus comprises a notification unit configured to notify a user of the operation mode being currently used when the first camera takes a video.

11. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first camera is a camera which can take an image at a wider angle than the second camera, or the second camera is a camera which can take an image at a wider angle than the first camera.

12. The portable electronic apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a total number of pixels of the still image is larger than that of the video, or a total number of pixels of the video is larger than that of the still image.
