Abstract
An example information processing apparatus determines whether an orientation of a display unit capable of being held by a user is in a first state or in a second state. If it has been determined that the orientation of the display unit is in the first state, the information processing apparatus sets, in a predetermined area, a display range to be displayed in the display unit, in accordance with the orientation of the display unit. If it has been determined that the orientation of the display unit is in the second state, the information processing apparatus sets the display range, regardless of the orientation of the display unit.
