An information processing apparatus (e.g., smart phone), a first external device (e.g., first camera), and a second external device (e.g., second camera), may establish respective wireless communication connections in one of a first communication mode and a second communication mode. In the first communication mode, the information processing apparatus may act as a client device. In the second communication mode, the information processing apparatus may act as a master device. When there is an active communications connection between the information processing apparatus and the first external device in the first communication mode, the information processing apparatus switches from the first communication mode to the second communication mode based on a communications connection being initiated between the second external device and the information processing apparatus.
