A printing apparatus capable of shifting a power state to a second power state where power consumption is lower than a first power state includes detecting a heat source approaching the printing apparatus, calculating an average temperature of respective areas near the printing apparatus, specifying a current position of the heat source based on the calculated average temperature, calculating a distance between the current position and a predetermined reference point, determining whether the heat source is moving to pass by the printing apparatus, determining whether the heat source is approaching the printing apparatus, and shifting, when it is determined that the heat source is approaching the printing apparatus, the power state of the printing apparatus from the second power state to the first power state.
