Abstract
There is provided an electronic apparatus that enables a line-of-sight detection function at an appropriate timing, thereby achieving power saving, for example. The line-of-sight detection function can be enabled with less power consumption. The electronic apparatus includes at least one memory and at least one processor which function as a line-of-sight detection unit configured to detect a line-of-sight position based on a line-of-sight of a user, and a control unit configured to perform control so that, in a state where a first content is displayed on a display unit, the line-of-sight detection unit detects the line-of-sight position of the user in response to a second content being displayed on the display unit, wherein the second content is to be displayed together with the first content.
