Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus comprising an image sensor and a control circuit is disclosed. The control circuit changes, if a second drive period that is a drive period of the image sensor for still image shooting overlaps with a first drive period that is a drive period of the image sensor for moving image shooting, a start timing of the second drive period. When performing still image shooting while performing moving image shooting and moving image display: if the still image shooting is single image shooting or a first shot of continuous shooting, the control circuit does not change the start timing of the second drive period. If the still image shooting is a second shot onward of continuous shooting, the control circuit changes the start timing of the second drive period with giving priority to the moving image display.
