1. An electronic apparatus including a first lens and a second lens at a first side, the second lens having an angle of view different from that of the first lens, the electronic apparatus comprising a memory and at least one processor which, when executing a program stored in the memory, function as:
a switching unit configured to perform switching between first imaging via the first lens and second imaging via the second lens;
a control unit configured to control display of items corresponding to a plurality of respective imaging modes along with a captured image on a display unit to select an imaging mode from the plurality of imaging modes, the plurality of imaging modes including an imaging mode where the first imaging and the second imaging are switchable and an imaging mode that enables the first imaging and disables the second imaging; and
an acceptance unit configured to accept a first operation and a second operation,
wherein, in a case where the second imaging is being performed, the control unit is configured to:
control display of a first item and a second item in different display modes, the first item corresponding to an imaging mode that enables the first imaging and the second imaging, the second item corresponding to the imaging mode that enables the first imaging and disables the second imaging, and
control selection of the second item so that the second item is not selectable by the first operation and the second item is selectable by the second operation, and control a change to the imaging mode corresponding to the second item and switching to the first imaging based on selection of the second item by the second operation.
