Electronic apparatus and method for controlling the same

An electronic apparatus, comprising:

• a touch detector capable of detecting a touch operation performed on an operation surface;
• and
• a memory and at least one processor which function as:
• a control unit configured to perform control of switching between first type processing and second type processing to be performed in accordance with a touch operation based on a touch operation performed after start of a touch of the touch operation,
• the first type processing being an instruction of pointing a position of having shifted in accordance with an amount of a shift of a touch position from a position that was pointed before detection of the shift of the touch position without pointing a position corresponding to a touch start position, and
• the second type processing being an instruction of pointing a position that is not based on the position that was pointed before detection of the touch operation and is based on the position where the touch operation was performed,
• wherein the control unit
• performs control such that the first type processing is performed in a case where the shift of the touch position on the operation surface is detected after detecting a touch on the operation surface, and
• performs control such that the second type processing is performed in a case where a predetermined touch operation that does not include the shift of the touch position onto the operation surface is detected after detecting a touch on the operation surface.

An electronic apparatus, comprising:

• a touch detector capable of detecting a touch operation performed on an operation surface;
• and
• a memory and at least one processor which function as:
• a setting unit configured to set a focus adjustment position, and
• a control unit configured to perform control of switching between first type processing and second type processing to be performed in accordance with a touch operation based on a touch operation performed after start of a touch of the touch operation,
• the first type processing being an instruction of shifting the position selected by the setting unit in accordance with the shift of the touch position, and
• the second type processing being an instruction of causing the setting unit to perform position selection based on the position where the touch operation was performed,
• wherein the control unit
• performs control such that the first type processing is performed in a case where the shift of the touch position on the operation surface is detected after detecting a touch on the operation surface, and
• performs control such that the second type processing is performed in a case where a predetermined touch operation that does not include the shift of the touch position onto the operation surface is detected after detecting a touch on the operation surface.

A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, comprising:

• a touch detection step capable of detecting a touch operation performed on an operation surface;
• and
• a control step of performing control of switching between first type processing and second type processing to be performed in accordance with a touch operation based on a touch operation performed after start of a touch of the touch operation,
• the first type processing being processing of displaying an item to be displayed on a display unit, that is located at a position different from the operation surface, at a position of having shifted in accordance with an amount of a shift of the touch position from a position where the item was displayed before detection of the shift of the touch position without displaying, at a position corresponding to a touch start position, the item, and
• the second type processing being processing of displaying the item to be displayed on the display unit at a position that is not based on the position where the item was displayed before detection of the touch operation and is based on the position where the touch operation was performed,
• wherein the control step
• performs control such that the first type processing is performed in a case where the shift of the touch position is detected after detecting a touch on the operation surface, and
• performs control such that the second type processing is performed in a case where a predetermined touch operation that does not include the shift of the touch position onto the operation surface is detected after detecting a touch on the operation surface.
