Abstract
An electronic apparatus fixes a level to a level set by a level setting member when a detection unit detects that a lock member is operated to be brought into a lock state, and invalidates setting of the level made by the level setting member. After the detection unit detects that the lock member is operated to release the lock state, at the time the level setting member is operated, releases the fixation of the level.
Claims3
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a level setting member configured to set a level according to operation by a user;
- a lock member configured to engage with the level setting member so as to lock the operation of the level setting member when the user performs operation to bring the setting member into a lock state;
- a detection unit configured to detect that the lock member is operated to be brought into the lock state before the lock member engages with the level setting member;
- and
- a control unit configured to fix the level to a level set by the level setting member at the time the detection unit detects that the lock member is operated to be brought into the lock state, and after the detection unit detects that the lock member is operated to release the lock state, when the level setting member is operated, release the fixation of the level,
- wherein the control unit invalidates the setting of the level by the level setting member when the detection unit detects that the lock member is operated to be brought into the lock state, and when the detection unit detects that the lock member is operated to release the lock state, validates the setting of the level by the level setting member.
