Image capturing apparatus that switches image capturing control according to capturing scene, information processing apparatus, control methods therefor, and storage media storing control programs therefor

Abstract

An image capturing apparatus capable of performing pattern recognition with high accuracy without decreasing customer satisfaction and performing image capturing control according to a capturing scene based on a result of the pattern recognition. The image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor that includes a photoelectric conversion section including first type pixels that receive visible light from a light flux from an object and output a visible light image and second type pixels that receive invisible light from the light flux and output an invisible light image, a memory device that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to perform pattern recognition of the invisible light image, and to switch an image capturing control for capturing the visible light image from a first image capturing control to a second image capturing control when a specific pattern is detected from the invisible light image through the pattern recognition.
