Claim 11:
12. A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
emitting light toward an area around the electronic apparatus as emitted light;
acquiring reflected light from an object that reflects the emitted light emitted from a light emitter;
acquiring and storing a first depth image based on first reflected light acquired during a first time period;
acquiring a second depth image based on second reflected light acquired during a second time period following the first time period; and
acquiring distance information between the electronic apparatus and the object included in the second depth image by subtracting a first depth value of each pixel of the stored first depth image from a second depth value of each pixel of the second depth image, and correcting the distance information by using a compensation value acquired based on time information corresponding to the second time period to acquire the distance.
