The processor specifies a certain imaging device as an imaging device suitable for imaging the face of the subject face among the plurality of imaging devices based on a position of the face area in each of the plurality of images. The processor causes a suggestion device to suggest a direction toward which the face of the subject is to be directed for imaging the face of the subject by the certain imaging device.
