1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a transmission unit configured to transmit a transmission wave;
a reception unit configured to receive a reflected wave of the transmission wave reflected by an object; and
a controller configured to operate the transmission unit in one of a plurality of operation modes having different detection distances,
wherein the controller is configured to
when the reception unit receives the reflected wave, determine a distance between the electronic apparatus and the object, based on the transmission wave and the reflected wave,
select an operation mode from among a plurality of operation modes that are capable of detecting the object at the distance detected from the electronic apparatus, and
operate the transmission unit in the operation mode having the detection distance that includes the distance to the object and is the shortest detection distance from among detection distances of the plurality of operation modes.
