Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes a first interchangeable lens and a second interchangeable lens different from the first interchangeable lens. The second interchangeable lens includes a first optical unit and a second optical unit guiding a light flux from a subject to an image capturing unit through respective optical paths. The image capturing apparatus includes a photometry unit and a control unit configured to perform control to display an enlargement frame on a display unit. In a state where the second interchangeable lens is mounted on the image capturing apparatus, the control unit performs control to superimpose the enlargement frame on a live view display from a start of the live view display, and the photometry unit is capable of increasing a degree of photometric weighting in the range corresponding to the enlargement frame relative to a degree of photometric weighting in another range and performing photometry of the subject.
