An electronic device comprising a connecting section; a first IF circuit that communicates through the connecting section with an external device connected via the connecting section, at a first communication speed; a second IF circuit that communicates through the connecting section with the external device, at a communication speed that is higher than the first communication speed; and a control section that, when one of the first IF circuit and the second IF circuit is selected as an IF circuit to be used for communication, limits a power supply to the other IF circuit.
