Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes a first operation member, a second operation member different from the first operation member, a specific operation unit, and a control unit. Where the electronic apparatus is in a first operation mode and in response to the first operation member being operated, the control unit performs control to execute a specific function different from a switching function of switching a lock setting state of an operation on the specific operation unit. Where the electronic apparatus is in a second operation mode different from the first operation mode and in response to the first operation member being operated, the control unit performs control to execute the switching function. The first operation member is an operation member located on a surface lower in height in a direction perpendicular to an operation surface than a surface on which the second operation member is located.
