Electronic apparatus and control method

Abstract

An electronic apparatus is provided that operates in a first state, a second state that consumes less energy than the first state, and a third state that consumes less energy than the second state. The electronic apparatus includes a switch that activates or cancels an automatic power-on function of the electronic apparatus, and a processor that shifts the electronic apparatus from the first state to the second state, in a case where, when the electronic apparatus is in the first state, a state transition condition for shifting the electronic apparatus to another state that consumes less energy than the first state is satisfied, and the automatic power-on function is active, and shifts the electronic apparatus from the first state to the third state, in a case where the state transition condition is satisfied and the automatic power-on function is inactive.
