An image capturing apparatus including a pixel region in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix, an A/D converter configured to convert a plurality of signals output from the plurality of pixels into a plurality of corresponding digital data, and a signal processing unit configured to generate an error-correcting code for the plurality of digital data, wherein, in the generating the error-correcting code, the signal processing unit performs grouping the plurality of digital data output from the A/D converter into a plurality of groups, and wherein the signal processing unit performs the grouping so that, in each of the plurality of groups, a total data length of the digital data forming corresponding one of the plurality of groups is not shorter than a length of the error-correcting code.
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
A signal processing apparatus comprising a signal processing unit configured to generate an error-correcting code for a plurality of digital data obtained by photoelectric conversion,
A signal processing method of generating an error-correcting code for a plurality of digital data obtained by photoelectric conversion, the method comprising:
