An information terminal includes: a display section; a display control section; a touch panel; a gesture detecting section that detects, when the display control section allows the display section to display images in three or more split regions of a display screen, a pinch-out gesture of spreading two fingers touching respective adjacent two of the three or more split regions; and a region setting section that makes, upon detection of the pinch-out gesture, a setting that the adjacent two split regions are aligned along directions of the pinch-out gesture and that the display screen is split into two split regions to be exclusively placed therewithin. The display control section allows an enlarged display of the images of the split regions subjected to the pinch-out gesture in the split regions set by the region setting section and avoids a display of the images of the other one or more split regions.
