To provide an electronic device capable of making safer azimuth angle measurements, and to provide a method and program for controlling the same.SOLUTION: An electronic device is provided, comprising a controller configured to control switching between a first mode for transmitting a transmission wave toward a first direction, and a second mode for transmitting the transmission wave toward a second direction lower than the first direction. When a predetermined condition is detected within a predetermined distance while in the first mode, the controller provides control to switch the mode to the second mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】方位角測定を行う際の安全性を高めた電子機器、電子機器の制御方法、及び電子機器の制御プログラムを提供する。【解決手段】電子機器は、送信波の放射が第１方向を向く第１モードと、送信波の放射が前記第１方向よりも下に近い第２方向を向く第２モードと、を切り替え可能に制御する制御部を備える。制御部は、第１モードにおいて、所定の状況が検出されると、第２モードに切り替えるように制御する。【選択図】図５
