Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor having a pixel area formed by pixels arranged in a matrix and output lines each for reading out a signal from the pixel area for each pixel row, and obtains a first image by performing image capturing. A flicker detection unit acquires flicker information on the first image, caused by a light source. The image sensor can operate in a first mode for reading out the first image, a second mode for reading out a second image as part of the first image during operation in the first mode, and a third mode for reading out a third image as part of the first image at a different timing from a readout timing in the second mode during operation in the first mode. The flicker information is acquired based on the second image and the third image.
