Abstract
An electronic device, which accepts inputs in a plurality of levels according to pressing loads, after a first-level input is accepted, when a load detecting unit continuously detects a pressing load, which satisfies a first load standard for releasing the acceptance of the first-level input and does not satisfy a second load standard for accepting a second-level input higher than the first load standard, for a predetermined time period, the control unit controls at least one load standard of the first load standard and the second load standard so that an interval from the first load standard to the second load standard widens.
