Abstract
In a case where a user selects a plurality of types of detected objects while switching a main object using an operation member for indicating a direction, the user may select an object that the user is less likely to determine as a major object. An image processing apparatus determines whether to permit any of a plurality of objects to be reselected as a new main object according to whether a region of any of the plurality of objects overlaps a region of another object and a combination of a type of any of the plurality of objects and a type of the main object.
