Abstract
An electronic apparatus comprises a first thermometer and a second thermometer arranged such that a change over time of a difference between a first measurement obtained by the first thermometer and a second measurement obtained by the second thermometer satisfies a specific condition. The electronic apparatus executes control for restricting a function of the electronic apparatus in response to a temperature of a housing of the electronic apparatus exceeding a threshold. The electronic apparatus estimates an ambient temperature based on the first measurement, the second measurement, and the specific condition and sets the threshold based on the estimated ambient temperature.
