Electronic apparatus, method for controlling the same, and storage medium

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a detection unit configured to detect a gaze point by a line-of-sight of a user;
• and
• a control unit configured to, in a state where selected position specification based on the gaze point is performed, perform control,
• before a predetermined operation is performed on an operation unit that receives a move operation for moving a selected position and the predetermined operation different from the move operation, to display the selected position based on the gaze point on a display unit in a first display form,
• after the move operation is performed, to move the selected position from a position based on the gaze point to a position corresponding to a direction and an amount of movement of the move operation with the selected position displayed in a second display form different from the first display form, and
• in a case where the predetermined operation is performed on the operation unit and then completed without the move operation being performed, to execute a function corresponding to the selected position based on the gaze point regardless of a position where the predetermined operation is performed.

A control system including an electronic apparatus having an imaging unit that images a subject and a control apparatus that controls the electronic apparatus, the control system comprising:

• an eyepiece portion configured to visually recognize an image of the subject;
• a display unit configured to enable visual recognition via the eyepiece portion;
• a detection unit configured to detect a gaze point by a line-of-sight of a user looking at the display unit;
• and
• a control unit configured to, in a state where selected position specification based on the gaze point is performed, perform control, upon performance of a move operation for movement while in contact with an operation surface of an operation unit, to move a selected position displayed on the display unit from a position based on the gaze point to a position corresponding to a direction and an amount of movement of the move operation.

A method for controlling an electronic apparatus comprising:

• an imaging unit configured to image a subject;
• an eyepiece portion configured to visually recognize an image of the subject;
• and
• a display unit configured to enable visual recognition via the eyepiece portion,
• the method comprising:
• detecting a gaze point by a line-of-sight of a user looking at the display unit;
• and
• performing control, in a state where selected position specification based on the gaze point is performed, upon performance of a move operation for movement while in contact with an operation surface of an operation unit, to move a selected position displayed on the display unit from a position based on the gaze point to a position corresponding to a direction and an amount of movement of the move operation.
