Abstract
An image capturing apparatus that is improved in performance for cooling an apparatus body and a recording medium. The image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, a circuit board disposed substantially parallel to the image sensor, and a cooling unit configured to cool at least one of the image sensor and the circuit board. The cooling unit includes a duct having an air flow passage crossing an optical axis of the image sensor, and a fan that causes air to flow in the air flow passage in the duct. An air inlet port and an air outlet port of the duct are disposed adjacent to each other such that the air outlet port does not face toward the air inlet port.
