A portable device includes a display device, a determination unit and a
display control unit. The display device is in a portrait format and
displays information relating to the portable device. The determination
unit determines whether a digital video image to be displayed on the
display device is in a landscape format. The display control unit rotates
both the digital video image to be displayed on the display device and
the information relating to the portable device by 90 degrees, if it is
determined by the determination unit that the digital video image to be
displayed on the display device is in the landscape format.
