An electronic apparatus includes a memory which temporarily stores image data of an image captured by an imaging device, and a processor which processes image data stored in the memory. The processor processes image data of plural images captured by the imaging device at predetermined time intervals and stored in the memory, detects face areas with faces captured therein from among the plural images based on first-resolution image data and second-resolution image data, and determines whether or not the face areas are consecutively detected from the plural images. Further, when determining that the state is changed between a state where face areas are consecutively detected and a state where face areas are not consecutively detected while performing processing to detect the face areas based on first-resolution image data, the processor detects face areas from among the plural images based on the second-resolution image data.
