Usability of a face detecting apparatus is improved, by enabling selection of a detecting mode optimal for an intended purpose, when detecting facial images from within images. During detection of images of forward facing faces, switching of the detecting mode to one of: a detection rate mode; a false positive detection rate mode; and a processing speed mode is enabled. Face detection focused on optimizing detection performance for each detecting mode is performed.
