An electronic endoscope of the present invention includes a video-scope having an image sensor, a video-processor, to which a proximal end of the video-scope and a monitor are respectively connected, a character and mark generation controller, and an area-image changer. The character and mark generation controller generates character signals and indicator-mark signals, and then feeds the character signals and the indicator-mark signals to the monitor. The image-area changer changes a size of an image-area of the object image displayed on the screen of the monitor to another size, thus the object image is selectively displayed within one of plural image-areas on the screen in accordance with a size change of the image-area. The characters and mark generation controller includes a display-position adjuster that determines display-positions of the character information and the indicator-mark on the basis of a reference table, in which a correspondence relationship between each of the image-area and each of the display-positions of the character information and the indicator-mark is indicated.
