Abstract
In an image capturing apparatus, an image sensor outputs an image converted from light entering through a diaphragm, an acquisition unit acquires an aperture state of the diaphragm, a generator generates a first indicator indicating a focus state of the image, a controller superimposes the image and an indicator indicating a focus state of the image, and displays a resultant image on a display device, a memory stores the indicator displayed on the display device as a second indicator, and a selector selects the first indicator in a case where the aperture state at least at a time of exposure of the image or of generating the first indicator by the generator is changing, and selects the second indicator in a case where the aperture state at these times is not changing. The controller displays the selected indicator.
