Abstract
An image processing apparatus comprises a first detecting unit configured to detect an object, a power control unit configured to shift the image processing apparatus from a second power state to a first power state which consumes more power than the second power state when the first detecting unit detects an object, and a second detecting unit configured to detect a sheet ejected to a sheet ejecting unit. The power control unit does not shift the image processing apparatus to the first power state when the second detecting unit no longer detects the sheet before a lapse of a predetermined period of time after the first detecting unit detects an object. The power control unit shifts the image processing apparatus to the first power state when the second detecting unit detects the sheet before a lapse of the predetermined period of time after the first detecting unit detects an object.
