Abstract

See full text

An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, a determination unit, and a control unit. The image sensor is rotatable in a plane intersecting an optical axis, and accumulates electric charges at a different timing for each area. The determination unit is configured to determine an exposure time of the image sensor. The control unit is configured to select and execute one of first control to start exposure of the image sensor in response to movement of a first light shielding member and terminate the exposure in response to movement of a second light shielding member and second control to start exposure of the image sensor and terminate the exposure in response to movement of the second light shielding member. The control unit selects one of the first control and the second control based on information about the rotation of the image sensor and the determined exposure time.
