An image capturing apparatus including a first image capturing section for capturing an image of an object, a second image capturing section for performing image capturing in a rear direction, and an operation section configured to receive an operation input by a user. In a case where no operation on the operation section is performed after an image of an object has been captured by the first image capturing section, whether or not a user has intention of capturing an image is determined based on an image captured by the second image capturing section. In a case where it is determined that the user does not have the intention of capturing an image, the first image capturing section is set o a first operation state rather than a second operation state larger in power consumption than the first operation state.
