Abstract
A communication apparatus includes a power source, a power switch, a wireless communication unit that establishes a wireless communication with a selected external apparatus from among a plurality of external apparatuses including a first external apparatus and a second external apparatus, and a control unit that controls the communication apparatus. In a first state where an operation state of the power switch is OFF, the wireless communication unit establishes a wireless communication with the first external apparatus and does not establish a wireless communication with the second external apparatus. In a second state where the operation state of the power switch is ON and power supply from the power source to at least the control unit is limited, the wireless communication unit establishes a wireless communication with the first and the second external apparatuses.
