Abstract
The imaging apparatus includes a first display device, a second display device, an eyepiece sensor that detects that an object approaches the first display device, and a controller that switches the eyepiece sensor to be valid and invalid. The controller sets the eyepiece sensor to be invalid when the first display device is not inclined while the second display device is inclined. The controller sets the eyepiece sensor to be valid when the first and second display devices are inclined.
