Abstract:
An image-capturing apparatus according to the present invention includes: an image sensor; a gaze detecting sensor configured to detect a gaze of a user; and at least one memory and at least one processor which function as: an object-detecting unit configured to detect an object from an image captured by the image sensor; and a control unit configured to, if the object-detecting unit detects an object of a specific type in a case where a state of the gaze detecting sensor is a first state for detecting the gaze, change the state of the gaze detecting sensor to a second state in which an electric power consumption of the gaze detecting sensor is less than in the first state.
