1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
one or more processors that execute a program stored in a memory which cause the image processing apparatus to:
apply machine learning (ML)-based first tracking processing to images, wherein a result of the first tracking processing used is autofocus processing; and
apply non-ML-based second tracking processing to the images,
wherein an operation frequency of the first tracking processing to be lower than an operation frequency of the second tracking processing by deactivating the first tracking processing for an image to which the autofocus processing is not performed.
