Abstract
Each of pixels of an image sensor has a first read-out path for reading an electric charge that is once stored in a first storage circuit, and a second read-out path for reading an electric charge without going through the first storage circuit. An image capture apparatus controls operation of the image sensor so that: an electric charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion device related to capturing based on an instruction by a user is read via the first read-out path; an electric charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion device related to capturing for information detection is read via the second read-out path. The reading via the second read-out path is executed in a period overlapping a period for reading an electric charge via the first read-out path.
