Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes an imaging element which is capable of simultaneously performing exposures of different exposure times, a detection unit configured to detect flicker; and a control unit configured to control the imaging element such that, in a case where imaging is performed at a frame rate shorter than a period of the flicker, a first image is captured in a first region of the imaging element for a first exposure time which is an exposure time settable in one frame, and a second image is captured in a second region of the imaging element for a second exposure time which is a difference between a time of an integer multiple of the first exposure time and a time of the period of the flicker.
