Abstract
A pointing object is provided with a first sensor (a first detection section) adapted to detect that the pointing object has been held, a detection circuit section (a second detection section) adapted to detect that a first operation switch has been operated, and a pointing object control section capable of switching an operation mode of the pointing object between a normal operation mode (a first operation mode) in which the pointing object operates in an operation state suitable for a usage, and a power saving mode (a second operation mode) with a power consumption reduced to a level lower than in the normal operation mode, and adapted to switch the operation mode based on a detection result of the first sensor and a detection result of an operation of the first operation switch.
