Abstract
An image capturing apparatus comprises an image sensor that receives beams of reflected light from a subject incident via an imaging optical system whose wavelength that reaches a light-receiving surface is different in accordance with an angle of incidence of reflected light, and generates an image signal. The apparatus changes a state of the imaging optical system or the image sensor such that a second image signal is generated by beams for which the angle of incidence of the reflected light from the imaging optical system is different from the beams by which a first image signal is generated. The apparatus outputs a spectral image based on a plurality of the image signals generated by receiving the beams in different state of the imaging optical system or the image sensor.
