1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor executing the instructions causing the electronic apparatus to:
track a tracking target included in an image;
move a tracking start position in a captured image;
start tracking from the tracking start position;
stop tracking; and
control first processing for, at the stopping of tracking, setting the tracking start position to a position at which the tracking target has been tracked until immediately before the stopping of tracking and second processing for, at the stopping of tracking, setting the tracking start position to a previously determined tracking start position,
wherein the first processing is selected when a current state is a state in which an image capturing preparation instruction for starting image capturing preparation has been issued at the stopping of tracking and the second processing is selected when the current state is a state in which the image capturing preparation instruction for starting image capturing preparation has not been issued at the stopping of tracking.
