Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus comprises an object detection unit configured to detect a predetermined object and a movement amount acquisition unit configured to acquire an amount of movement of the predetermined object. An object tracking unit suppresses the amount of movement of the predetermined object by moving an optical element constituting an image capturing optical system. A motion vector detection unit detects a motion vector indicating an image blur amount. An image blur correction unit corrects image blur based on the motion vector. A switching unit switches whether or not to perform object tracking using the object tracking unit. The image blur correction unit makes effect of the image blur correction in a case of performing the object tracking smaller than effect of the image blur correction in a case of not performing the object tracking.
