To provide an electronic apparatus that increases convenience in performing distance measurement, a method for controlling the electronic apparatus, and a program for controlling the electronic apparatus.SOLUTION: An electronic apparatus comprises: a transmission unit that transmits transmission waves; a receiving unit that receives, of the transmission waves, a reflection wave reflected by an object; and a control unit that switchably controls a first mode where the angular resolution of the azimuth for the object measured based on the transmission signals from the transmission unit and receiving signals from the receiving unit is a first angular resolution, and a second mode where the angular resolution is a second angular resolution higher than the first angular resolution. The control unit controls to switch to the second mode when the object is detected within a predetermined distance in the first mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】距離測定を行う際の利便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、送信波を送信する送信部と、送信波のうち対象物によって反射された反射波を受信する受信部と、送信部の送信信号及び受信部の受信信号に基づいて測定される、対象物に対する方位角の角度分解能を第１の角度分解能とする第１モードと、角度分解能を第１の角度分解能より高い第２の角度分解能とする第２モードと、を切り替え可能に制御する制御部と、を備える。制御部は、第１モードにおいて、対象物が所定の距離内に検出されたら、第２モードに切り換えるように制御する。【選択図】図６
