Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, and a control unit configured to control a timing of a start of electric charge accumulation of the pixels and a timing of readout, the control unit, with regard to a first area of the pixel region, causing electric charge accumulation in a first accumulation period, and causing a first readout in a first readout time, and, with regard to a second area, causing electric charge accumulation in a second accumulation period that is shorter than the first accumulation period, and causing a second readout in a second readout time that is longer than the first readout time, and causing the first readout and the second readout to be performed such that the first readout time and the second readout time do not temporally overlap with each other.
