Abstract
An electronic device generates, in accordance with an operation on an operation unit, a zoom control command for controlling a drive unit that mechanically drives a zoom position of a lens unit attached to an image capture apparatus from the outside of the lens unit, and transmits the zoom control command to the image capture apparatus via communication unit. The electronic apparatus obtains information related to the zoom position of the lens unit from the image capture apparatus, and displays, on a display apparatus, information indicating a current zoom position of the lens unit relative to a minimum zoom position and a maximum zoom position of the lens unit.
