Abstract
An image capturing apparatus comprising an image capturing unit , a synchronization control unit performing synchronization with the second synchronization signal such that the captured image is output to an external devise in synchronism with the second synchronization signal; a determination unit determining whether the synchronization is stable; and a mode control unit switching an operation mode between a first operation mode and a second operation mode, in response to an instruction for switching the operation mode, wherein in a case where an instruction for switching the operation mode from the second operation mode to the first operation mode has been input and it is determined that the synchronization is stable, the mode control unit switches the operation mode from the second operation mode to the first operation mode.
