Automatic photographing condition setting is achieved with accuracy. For example, when a shutter button is half-pressed, preliminary photographing is carried out under different photographing conditions to acquire preview images. Then, each of the preview images is subjected to a face detection process. Photographing conditions for photographing a person are automatically adjusted to be suitable for a face area in one of the preview images from which a face has been detected.
