Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus including an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, and a generation unit configured to generate an exposure period map by assigning, to each of the plurality of image sensor pixels, exposure control information to control a charge accumulation time, based on preliminary captured image data obtained by preliminary image capturing using the image capturing unit. The exposure control information includes first exposure control information corresponding to a first accumulation time and second exposure control information corresponding to an accumulation time longer than the first exposure control information A correction unit expands a first region having the first exposure control information on the exposure period map, and a control unit controls the accumulation time for each of the plurality of image sensor pixels in accordance with the exposure period map corrected by the correction unit.
