Claim 11:
12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an electronic apparatus that has an eye approach detection unit configured to detect an object approaching to a finder, and a sight line detection unit configured to detect a sight line position to a display unit that is arranged in the finder, the method comprising:
performing control to drive the sight line detection unit and stop driving the approach detection unit when it is detected by the approach detection unit that an object has been approached to the finder; and
performing control to, based on a detection result of the sight line detection unit, drive the approach detection unit from a state in which a driving of the approach detection unit is stopped, and stop driving the sight line detection unit while driving the approach detection unit.
