Abstract

An input apparatus includes an operation member supported movably in accordance with a plurality of sections set on a two-dimensional plane, a section detection section configured to detect a section in which the operation member is located, a determination operation detection section configured to detect a determination operation performed using the operation member, and an execution section configured to perform a process corresponding to the section in which the operation member is located on the basis of the section detected by the section detection section and the determination operation detected by the determination operation detection section. The determination operation is movement of the operation member in a determination direction (y1 direction), which is a direction parallel to the two-dimensional plane.
