An image capturing apparatus capable of reducing a loss of a desired image capturing opportunity. The image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit that outputs image data, a memory device, and a processor. In a first operation mode in an pre-capturing mode, the processor displays the image data as a live view image on a display unit, holds pre-capture image data from detection of a first instruction instructing image capturing preparation to detection of a second instruction instructing recording of a captured image, and records main image data output in response to the second instruction and the held pre-capture image data in a recording medium when the second instruction is detected. In a second operation mode in the pre-capturing mode, the processor stops displaying the live view image, detects a change of an object based on the image data, and holds the image data based on a detection result.
