An electronic apparatus comprises an eye approach detection unit configured to detect an objective approaching to a finder, a sight line detection unit configured to detect a sight line position to a display unit that is arranged in the finder, and a control unit configured to perform control to drive the sight line detection unit and stop driving the approach detection unit when it is detected by the approach detection unit that an objective has been approached to the finder, wherein the control unit performs control to, based on a detection result of the sight line detection unit, drive the approach detection unit from a state in which a driving of the approach detection unit is stopped, and stop driving the sight line detection unit while driving the approach detection unit.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
A method of controlling an electronic apparatus that as an approach detection unit configured to detect an object approaching to a finder;
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an electronic apparatus that as an approach detection unit configured to detect an object approaching to a finder;
