Electronic apparatus and control method

A control method for an electronic apparatus,

• the electronic apparatus including:
• a first thermometer that detects a first ambient temperature in an environment in which the electronic apparatus is used;
• a second thermometer that detects a second ambient temperature in the environment in which the electronic apparatus is used;
• and
• a third thermometer that detects an outer casing temperature of the electronic apparatus,
• the control method comprising:
• estimating an ambient temperature based on the first ambient temperature and the second ambient temperature, and restricting an operation of the electronic apparatus in a case where the outer casing temperature has reached a threshold that has been set based on the estimated ambient temperature,
• wherein in the restricting, a temperature of the threshold in a second operation mode is set at a temperature higher than a temperature of the threshold in a first operation mode, the second operation mode causing a small temperature increase in the electronic apparatus compared to the first operation mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as an electronic apparatus comprising:

• a first thermometer that detects a first ambient temperature in an environment in which the electronic apparatus is used;
• a second thermometer that detects a second ambient temperature in the environment in which the electronic apparatus is used;
• a third thermometer that detects an outer casing temperature of the electronic apparatus;
• a control unit that estimates an ambient temperature based on the first ambient temperature and the second ambient temperature, and restricts an operation of the electronic apparatus in a case where the outer casing temperature has reached a threshold that has been set based on the estimated ambient temperature,
• wherein the control unit sets a temperature of the threshold in a second operation mode at a temperature higher than a temperature of the threshold in a first operation mode, the second operation mode causing a small temperature increase in the electronic apparatus compared to the first operation mode.
