Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes: a ghost detection unit that detects a ghost generated in a signal obtained from an image capturing element; a correction-target-pixel setting unit that sets, as a correction-target pixel, an image pixel affected by crosstalk of the ghost from among image pixels adjacent to a focus-detection pixel; and a pixel correction unit that corrects the correction-target pixel according to a correction value calculated from an image pixel located in the vicinity of the correction-target pixel.
