Abstract
An image-capturing apparatus for generating a moving image includes an image sensor that receives light from a subject and outputs moving image data, an acquisition unit that acquires velocity information, and a control unit that controls an exposure time of the image sensor. The control unit controls the image sensor to receive the light from the subject for a first exposure time and changing the first exposure time to a second exposure time for accumulating electric charges, the second exposure time being longer than the first exposure time, based on the velocity information of the image-capturing apparatus.
