Abstract:
An image capture apparatus comprises an X-Y address scan type image sensor; a flicker detector configured to detect a flicker of a light source; a switch configured to switch the image sensor between a first state in which the image sensor is driven by a first driving method which comprises reading out a pixel signal within a range of a first angle of view and a second state in which the image sensor is driven by a second driving method which comprises reading out a pixel signal within a range of a second angle of view narrower than the first driving method; and a controller configured to control the switch so as to drive the image sensor by the first driving method while the flicker detector is detecting the flicker and to drive image sensor by the second driving method when the flicker detector has completed flicker detection.
