1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
at least one processor or circuit configured to function as:
an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image;
an evaluation value acquisition unit configured to acquire an evaluation value of the image;
a reliability acquisition unit configured to acquire reliability of the evaluation value;
an evaluation unit configured to evaluate the image based on the evaluation value; and
a recording unit configured to add a rating result of the image to the image and record the rating result; and
a subject detection unit configured to detect a subject from the image,
wherein
the evaluation unit determines that a reliability of the evaluation value in a case where a distance between a position of the subject detected by the subject detection unit and a position of an auto-focus frame on a screen is larger than a predetermined distance is lower than a reliability of the evaluation value in a case where the distance is not larger than the predetermined distance and performs rating of the images which have been recorded by the recording unit by prioritizing an evaluation value which has higher reliability over an evaluation value which has lower reliability.
