1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
an image capturing unit;
a TIME-CODE terminal configured to output a time code signal which an external apparatus utilizes to perform synchronization related to a video, the time code signal including first fields storing data specifying a frame, second fields storing data set by a user and a third field storing a sync word;
a determination unit configured to determine whether an instruction input of high speed synchronization is performed by a user or a predetermined condition is satisfied; and
a control unit configured to, in accordance with a result of the determination by the determination unit, generate the time code signal and output the generated time code signal to the external apparatus via the TIME-CODE terminal,
wherein the control unit,
in a case that the determination unit determines neither the instruction input of high speed synchronization is performed by the user nor the predetermined condition is satisfied, generates the time code signal in which the second fields store data set by the user, and
in a case that the determination unit determines that the instruction input of high speed synchronization is performed by the user or the predetermined condition is satisfied, generates the time code signal in which all of bits in the second fields are set as “1” regardless of the data set by the user.
