Abstract
An electronic apparatus that is capable of obtaining a correct base length even if at least one of photographing modules is attached to any slot different from an original slot at any timing. First and second photographing modules are respectively attached to any two of attachment regions of a body of the electronic apparatus. A photographing unit photographs in a compound eye mode using the photographing modules. An obtaining unit obtains two pieces of coordinate information about optical axes of the photographing modules from the photographing modules. A storage unit stores positional information about the attachment regions. A calculation unit calculates a base length by obtaining the coordinate information about the optical axes and the positional information about the attachment regions in a case where one of a state of the photographing modules and a state of the body of the electronic apparatus changes.
