Image capturing apparatus, control method for the same, and storage medium

A method for controlling an image capturing apparatus including an image sensor for capturing a subject image, the method comprising:

• determining whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied;
• and
• acquiring foreign substance information, which is information on a foreign substance sticking to at least one of the image sensor and an optical element in front of the image sensor, from an image obtained by causing the image sensor to perform image capture,
• wherein in the acquiring, if it is determined in the determining that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the foreign substance information is acquired from the image obtained by causing the image sensor to perform image capture, and if it is determined in the determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the foreign substance information is not acquired from the image obtained by causing the image sensor to perform image capture, and
• the predetermined condition includes at least one of the following:
• that a mounted lens unit is a lens unit with a narrow image circle with respect to the image sensor, and that a mode in which only a partial region of the image sensor is recorded has been set.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute steps of a control method for an image capturing apparatus including an image sensor for capturing a subject image, the method comprising:

• determining whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied;
• and
• acquiring foreign substance information, which is information on a foreign substance sticking to at least one of the image sensor and an optical element in front of the image sensor, from an image obtained by causing the image sensor to perform image capture,
• wherein in the acquiring, if it is determined in the determining that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the foreign substance information is acquired from the image obtained by causing the image sensor to perform image capture, and if it is determined in the determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied, the foreign substance information is not acquired from the image obtained by causing the image sensor to perform image capture, and
• the predetermined condition includes at least one of the following:
• that a mounted lens unit is a lens unit with a narrow image circle with respect to the image sensor, and that a mode in which only a partial region of the image sensor is recorded has been set.
