Image capturing apparatus capable of intermittently capturing images, method for controlling the same, and recording medium

A method for controlling an image capturing apparatus, the method being for performing a live view display for sequentially displaying a first image acquired using an image capturing device of the image capturing apparatus, the method comprising:

• performing photometry on an object;
• based on a result of the photometry, controlling an exposure;
• performing control so as to obtain intermittently a second image for generating a time lapse moving image, the time lapse moving image being different from the first image;
• and
• controlling a displaying of an image on a display,
• wherein, in a case where an operation of obtaining the second image is performed during the live view display, performing control so as not to newly display the first image on the display during a predetermined period for obtaining the second image and so as to start newly displaying the first image after the predetermined period has passed, and
• wherein, in the exposure controlling, the exposure by a first degree of change is changeable in the predetermined period and the exposure by a second degree of change is changeable outside of the predetermined period, the second degree of change being more moderate than the first degree of change.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for causing a computer to execute a process for controlling an image capturing apparatus, the process being for performing a live view display for sequentially displaying a first image acquired using an image capturing device of the image capturing apparatus, the process comprising:

• performing photometry on an object;
• based on a result of the photometry, exposure controlling an exposure;
• performing control so as to obtain intermittently a second image for generating a time lapse moving image, the second image being different from the first image;
• and
• controlling a displaying of an image on a display,
• wherein, in a case where an operation of obtaining the second image is performed during the live view display, performing control so as not to newly display the first image on the display during a predetermined period for obtaining the second image and so as to start newly displaying the first image after the predetermined period has passed, and
• wherein, in the exposure controlling, the exposure by a first degree of change is changeable in the predetermined period and the exposure by a second degree of change outside of the predetermined period, the second degree of change being more moderate than the first degree of change is changeable.
