An image capturing apparatus comprises a photoelectric conversion unit including a first pixel group which photoelectrically converts an object image formed via a first exit pupil region of a photographing lens and a second pixel group which photoelectrically converts an object image formed via a second exit pupil region; a focus detection unit which detects a focus of the photographing lens using a first image signal obtained from the first pixel group and a second image signal obtained from the second pixel group; a calculation unit which calculates an inclination of a straight line connecting a barycenter of the first exit pupil region and a barycenter of the second exit pupil region from a pixel arrangement direction of the first pixel group and second pixel group; and a focus detection range setting unit which sets a focus detection range based on a calculation result of the calculation unit.
