1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a touch detection unit configured to detect a touch operation to a display unit;
a display control unit configured to control so as to display a touch icon to the display unit;
an attitude detection unit configured to detect an attitude of the electronic apparatus;
a setting unit configured to set a case mode to be used in a case where the electronic apparatus is put in a case; and
a control unit configured to control to, in a case where the case mode is not set by the setting unit, change a position of a touch-responsive area adapted to receive a touch operation to the touch icon in accordance with the attitude of the electronic apparatus detected by the attitude detection unit, and not to, in a case where the case mode is set by the setting unit, change the position of the touch-responsive area irrespective of the attitude of the electronic apparatus.

Abstract
In a case where a dripproof case is not used, a CPU changes a position of a touch icon which is displayed to an LCD panel in accordance with a detection result of an attitude detection unit. In a case where the dripproof case in which a touch panel can be operated from the outside is used and a case mode is ON, a CPU fixes a display position of the touch icon to a position corresponding to an operation unit of the dripproof case irrespective of the detection result of the attitude detection unit.
