1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a storage unit that stores a first image acquired in response to a shooting instruction and a plurality of second images automatically acquired before the first image;
a specifying unit that specifies a subject in the first image;
a detection unit that detects the subject specified by the specifying unit in the plurality of second images acquired before the first image; and
a control unit that controls to adapt a plurality of sets each contains information on a region of the subject detected in each of the plurality of second images and the second image associated with the information as learning data,
wherein each unit is implemented by one or more processors, circuitry or a combination thereof, and
wherein, in a case where a difference between the first image and the second image is smaller than a predetermined threshold, the detection unit does not perform the detection on the second image.
