An image capturing apparatus detects a specific object from a first image generated based on an image formed on the image sensor via a first optical system, generates, upon detection of the specific object from the first image, a plurality of first images based on images formed on the image sensor via the plurality of optical systems, and stores the plurality of first images. The image capturing apparatus detects, after detection of the specific object from the first image, the specific object from a second image generated based on an image formed on the image sensor via the second optical system, and generates, upon detection of the specific object from the second image, a plurality of second images based on images formed on the image sensor via the plurality of optical systems, and store the plurality of second images.

Image capturing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing program

An electronic apparatus is provided that is capable of continuing to capture an object intended as a subject by a user before a zoom operation is started, even in a case where the subject selection based on line-of-sight detection is terminated after the zoom operation has started. The electronic apparatus comprising a line-of-sight detecting unit configured to detect a line-of-sight of a user, a zoom operating member configured to perform a zoom operation, a selecting unit configured to select a subject from an image based on the line-of-sight's position, and a control unit configured to perform control so that when the zoom operation is started by the zoom operating member, subject selection based on the line-of-sight's position is stopped without stopping line-of-sight detection performed by the line-of-sight detecting unit.
