According to the foregoing embodiment, the present invention is applied to the digital still camera 100, for example. However, the invention is not limited to this example, and the invention is applicable to any electronic apparatus as long as the electronic apparatus is capable of controlling settings of a position where a process based on a specific position (a specific process), such as an AF process, an AE process (auto exposure process), or an AWB process (auto white balance process) is performed. Specifically, the present invention is applicable to a personal computer (PC), a cellular phone terminal, a mobile-type image viewer, a digital photo frame, a music player, a game machine, an electronic book reader, a tablet PC, a smartphone, a projection apparatus, home electronics having a display unit, and the like. The present invention is further applicable to apparatuses, such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, and a desktop PC, which receive and display a live view image captured by a digital still camera or the like in a wired or wireless manner and remotely control the digital still camera (including a network camera).

The present invention is realized by executing the following process. Specifically, software (a program) which realizes functions of the foregoing embodiment is supplied to a system or an apparatus through a network or various recording media, and a computer (or a CPU or an MPU) of the system or the apparatus reads and executes a program code. In this case, the program and the storage media which store the program are included in the present invention.

According to the present invention, operability is improved when a setting of a position where a predetermined process is performed by a touch operation is performed.
