Abstract
An electronic apparatus capable of reducing erroneous detection of each input operation and variation in an operation detection state, while enabling various input operations with one operation member. The electronic apparatus comprising an operation member that is displaced according to user's operation; a movable electrode that is displaced according to displacement of the operation member; a fixed electrode fixed near the movable electrode while being electrically connected to ground; a sensor that is electrically connected to the movable electrode and detects a change in capacitance generated in the movable electrode; and a controller configured to switch, according to the displacement of the operation member, between a first state in which the movable electrode and the fixed electrode are electrically separated from each other and a second state in which the movable electrode and the fixed electrode are in contact with each other in a conductive manner.
