Claim 0:
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a wireless communication unit wirelessly communicating via an external access point; and
a processing unit operating in one of a plurality of operation modes including a first operation mode and a second operation mode having lower power consumption than the first operation mode, the processing unit controlling the wireless communication unit, wherein
the processing unit
determines whether the processing unit is operating in the first operation mode or in the second operation mode;
executes first scan processing as scan processing for the access point such that the first scan processing scans a first scanning target and a second scanning target in response to determining that the processing unit is operating in the first operation mode, and
executes second scan processing in which a scanning target is limited compared with the first scan processing such that the second scan processing scans the first scanning target but does not scan the second scanning target in response to determining that the processing unit is operating in the second operation mode, and

the processing unit starts executing the first scan processing after stopping the second operation mode and shifting to the first operation mode in response to a change in communication setting being carried out based on a user instruction while the processing unit is operating in the second operation mode.
