1. An electronic endoscope system configured to acquire a still image from a moving image of living tissue imaged in a lumen, the electronic endoscope system comprising:
an electronic endoscope configured to image an image of living tissue in a lumen as a moving image;
a memory;
a processor configured to
acquire a part of an imaged moving image of the living tissue as a still image by an instruction,
record the still image in the memory, and
associate place information regarding an imaging place of the living tissue in the lumen with the still image;
a monitor configured to display the moving image and the still image; and
an operation panel configured to
transmit a capture instruction for acquiring the still image from the moving image to the processor in response to an operation performed on the operation panel of determining one place out of a plurality of places in the lumen set in advance as a selected place as a trigger, and
transmit information of the selected place to the processor as the place information regarding the imaging place during an imaging period of the moving image, wherein
the operation panel is provided with a plurality of buttons to which information of different places in the lumen is assigned so as to be distinguishable from each other, and is configured to determine the selected place by pressing of one of the buttons, and make the pressing of one of the buttons the trigger for transmission of the capture instruction.
