Abstract

To achieve an improved touch operation, a display control apparatus includes a monitor unit provided with a display unit and rotatably connected to a main body via a hinge portion, a touch panel configured to detect a touch operation on the display unit, a variable angle state detection unit configured to detect a position of the monitor unit, and a system control unit configured to display a Q button to be used for releasing lock at a position nearer to the hinge portion than other display items when it is determined that the monitor unit is moved from a first position to a second position based on the detection result of the variable angle state detection unit.
