1. An electronic device that reproduces a moving image content, the electronic device comprising:
a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device:
to control operation to sequentially display a plurality of frame images included in the moving image content on a screen and display a time line area, which corresponds to a reproduction period of the plurality of frame images, on the screen;
for a third frame image, of which a reference position has not been set yet, existing between a first frame image and a second frame image, which are two frame images of which reference positions have been set, to calculate a position on a track connecting a first reference position of the first frame image and a second reference position of the second frame image;
to automatically set the calculated position as a third reference position of the third frame image;
for a plurality of fourth frame images existing in a specified period, which is specified in the time line area in accordance with an operation by a user, to automatically set one fourth reference position which is specified in accordance with an operation by the user so that the one fourth reference position is maintained;
to control operation to display the specified period and other periods separately in the time line area on the screen; and
to control operation to reproduce the moving image content by sequentially displaying regions corresponding to reference positions which are set for the plurality of frame images respectively on the screen.
