Abstract
An image capturing apparatus sequentially obtains images obtained by image capturing of a subject and detects the angle of view of each obtained image at the time of image capturing. The apparatus sequentially selects a plurality of images, of the obtained images, which are used to generate one frame. The apparatus combines the selected images to generate a moving image including an obtained composite image as a frame. If the selected images differ in angle of view at the time of image capturing, the apparatus changes all the selected images into images having the same angle of view and the same number of pixels by adjusting angles of view of selected images which differ in angle of view from one reference image of the selected images, and combines the images.
