1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic apparatus to:
perform detection processing to detect approaching an object toward a finder;
perform instruction processing that can perform an image capturing preparation instruction including an instruction for performing distance measurement processing; and
perform control processing to control
in a case of a first state including a state of not receiving the image capturing preparation instruction performed by the instruction processing, to display a captured image captured by an image pickup element but not to display a first item indicating setting information related to image capturing and a second item indicating distance measurement information, on the display
to display 1) the second item at a position according to the distance measurement processing and 2) the first item, on the display, in response to receiving the image capturing preparation instruction performed by the instruction processing, and
in the first state, to display an item to indicate a focal distance of the image pickup element among the first item on the display, together with displaying the captured image, in response to a new detection of an object approaching toward the finder in the detection processing.
