IMAGING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

An imaging apparatus includes a finder, a proximity detection unit configured to detect a proximity of an object to the finder, a receiving unit configured to receive a line-of-sight input, and a control unit configured to perform control to prohibit, after the proximity of the object is detected by the proximity detection unit, a specific function based on a position input by the line-of-sight input of the user from being performed until a first period of time has elapsed even in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, and allow, after the proximity of the object is detected by the proximity detection unit and the first period of time has elapsed, the specific function based on the position input by the line-of-sight input of the user to be performed, in response to satisfaction of the predetermined condition.
