Abstract
An image capturing apparatus comprises an image sensor, an image processor and a controller. The image sensor includes pixels each having a photoelectric conversion element and a signal storing unit. The controller transfers image signals to the image processor in a predetermined period if the image signals is a first image signal, and stores, if the image signals is a second image signal, the image signals output from the pixels in the signal storing unit, and transfers some of the image signals stored in the signal storing unit to the image processor during an interval in which the first image signals are transferred to the image processor. The image processor switches image processing in accordance with the type of the image signals transferred from the image sensor.
