Abstract
An electronic apparatus which independently detects opening/closing and rotation of a display unit, and displays an image suitable for an opened/closed and rotated state of the display unit. The opening/closing sensor, the rotation sensor, and a magnet are arranged so that: when the display unit is closed with respect to an apparatus main body with the display panel facing a rear of the apparatus main body, both sensors detect a positive magnetic field; when the display unit is opened, an opening/closing detection result is switched not to detect the magnetic field in a range of an opening/closing angle from 90° to 175°, and the rotation sensor detects the magnetic field; and when the display unit is rotated, the opening/closing sensor does not detect the magnetic field, and a rotation detection result is switched to detect the magnetic field in a range of a rotating angle from 90° to 180°.
