Abstract
An image capturing apparatus that has an image sensor for capturing an object image formed through an optical system. A flicker detection section detects a frequency and a phase of flicker. A curtain speed as a time over which a shutter runs from the top to the bottom of the image sensor and a flicker period time as a time of one period of flicker are compared. In a case where the curtain speed is longer than the flicker period time, an image of an object is captured by controlling an image capturing accumulation time period, whereas in a case where the curtain speed is shorter than or equal to the flicker period time, an image of the object is captured by controlling image capturing timing based on the detected frequency and phase of the flicker.
