Abstract
In a case where an image capturing device is in a first state and, in a state where the image capturing device is attached to a communication apparatus, it is judged that a first operation is performed, wireless communication with the communication apparatus is maintained and an operation state of the image capturing device is caused to make a transition to a second state; in a case where, in the first state and in a state where the image capturing device is not attached to the communication apparatus, it is judged that the first operation is performed, the wireless communication with the communication apparatus is not maintained; and in the first state, image capturing by the image capturing device and communication of data by the wireless communication are possible, and in the second state, power consumption is less than that of the first state.
