An electronic apparatus includes an internal speaker, a communication unit configured to perform a wireless communication with a wearable external speaker, and a control unit. The control unit establishes wireless connection with the external speaker through the communication unit and the control unit continuously performs a control operation for preventing an output of an audio signal from the internal speaker in a case where the wireless connection with the external speaker is disconnected by a first factor in a state where the control unit performs the control operation. The control unit cancels performance of the control operation in a case where the wireless connection with the external speaker is disconnected by a second factor different from the first factor in a state where the control unit performs the control operation for preventing the output of the audio signal from the internal speaker.

Electronic apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium

An image capturing apparatus with a mechanical shutter, an output unit that outputs a sound, and a setting unit that sets whether the output unit outputs sound includes an image capturing mode where image capturing occurs without the mechanical shutter and an image capturing mode where image capturing is automatically switched between using the mechanical shutter and not using the mechanical shutter, where during image capturing without the mechanical shutter the output unit outputs sound based on the setting made by the setting unit, and where during image capturing without the mechanical shutter when image capturing switches between using and not using the mechanical shutter, the output unit outputs sound regardless of the setting made by the setting unit.

Image capturing apparatus, control method thereof, and recording medium thereof

An electronic device includes an internal speaker, a connection unit configured to connect an external speaker, an operation unit configured to receive a user operation, and a control unit, wherein, in a case where the external speaker is connected via the connection unit in a state in which the internal speaker is controlled not to output an electronic sound, the control unit controls the operation unit to receive an instruction to change a setting for switching whether to output an electronic sound, and wherein, in a case where the external speaker is not connected via the connection unit in a state in which the internal speaker is controlled not to output an electronic sound, the control unit controls the operation unit not to receive an instruction to change a setting for switching whether to output an electronic sound.

Electronic device and control method and storage medium

The present invention provides a robot apparatus which can determine a contact state at a contact point without increasing the contact point, can be miniaturized, and also can decrease the cost. Contact points are provided in a hand device. Contact points are provided in a tool device, which come in contact with the contact points, respectively, when the tool device has been mounted on the hand device. A voltage detecting circuit is provided in the tool device, which detects a voltage between the contact points. The controlling circuit determines contact states between the contact points and the contact points, by using a value of the voltage which has been detected by the voltage detecting circuit.
