1. A mobile information terminal having a video call function comprising:
a camera configured to generate an image signal from an image of subjects captured through a lens and mounted on a front surface of the mobile information terminal, on which a touch panel display is mounted;
an image signal processor configured to generate an image data based on the image signal and detect whether a face of a user is included in the image data as a part of the image of subjects;
a microphone configured to generate a vocal signal;
a speaker configured to output an audio;
a storage configured to store a registered image data;
a communication circuitry configured to communicate with another mobile terminal via the Internet; and
a control circuitry configured to:
execute the video call function; and
transmit at least a transmission image data to the other mobile terminal via the communication circuitry while the video call function is executed,
wherein the image signal processor is further configured to:
while the video call function is executed, check whether or not the face is included in the image data;
in case that the face is not included, generate the transmission image data based on the registered image data; and
in case that the face is included, generate the transmission image data based on the image data.
