Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus including an image capturing unit that captures an image, a focus control unit that controls a focus of the image capturing unit, an object selection reception unit that receives a selection operation of an object, and an image processing unit that performs image processing of an image that is captured by the image capturing unit, in which the image capturing unit captures plural images in which the focus is changed by the focus control unit, at least one of the plural images is captured based on a focal position of a selected object that is received by the object selection reception unit, and the image processing unit generates an image in which a depth of field is expanded compared to the one captured image from the plural images.
