ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND RESISTANCE VALUE SWITCHING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic apparatus mounted with a capacitive touch panel capable of reducing influences by a hand on a handle part holding the main body of the apparatus.SOLUTION: A touch panel part 5 is constituted of: a receiving sensor panel 5-1 that has plural reception electrodes 5-1a which are disposed in parallel in a horizontal direction and two transmission electrodes 5-1b which are disposed at the left end and the right end in a vertical direction respectively; and a transmission sensor panel 5-2 which has plural transmission electrodes 5-2c disposed in parallel in the vertical direction from the left end to the right end. The touch panel 5 is configured so that an identical transmitter signal is applied to the transmission electrodes 5-2c of the transmission sensor panel 5-2 and the transmission electrodes 5-1b of the receiving sensor panel 5-1 to detect a proximity of a human hand at high sensitivity; and after detecting the proximity of the human hand, the transmission electrode 5-1b of the receiving sensor panel 5-1 is set to a ground potential to lower the sensitivity.
