Abstract
Display is appropriately switched between an EVF display and a rear display of a camera based on proximity detection. A proximity detection unit detects proximity of a user viewing through the EVF. An orientation detection unit detects an orientation of the camera main body. If the proximity detection unit detects proximity within a predetermined threshold, a system control unit switches display to display of the EVF. If the orientation detection unit detects a predetermined motion, the system control unit changes a threshold of the proximity detection to a value indicating a distance far from the EVF.
