Image capturing apparatus, control method thereof, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

An image capturing apparatus which can interchange a lens unit, comprising:

• at least one processor and/or circuit configured to function as following units:
• an image capturing unit which captures images using an image sensor;
• a synthesizing unit which synthesizes a plurality of images;
• and
• a controlling unit which controls predetermined synthesis processing for creating a synthetic image by causing the synthesizing unit to synthesize a plurality of images that have been obtained by the image capturing unit performing image capturing a plurality of times,
• wherein, if a lens unit that has been remounted after a first image for the predetermined synthesis processing was acquired is a lens unit that necessitates predetermined image correction, the controlling unit controls the image capturing unit to not capture a new image for creating the synthetic image.

A control method of an image capturing apparatus which can interchange a lens unit and includes an image capturing unit which captures images using an image sensor, comprising:

• synthesizing a plurality of images;
• and
• controlling predetermined synthesis processing for creating a synthetic image by causing the synthesizing to synthesize a plurality of images that have been obtained by the image capturing unit performing image capturing a plurality of times,
• wherein, if a lens unit that has been remounted after a first image for the predetermined synthesis processing was acquired is a lens unit having an image circle that is different from that of a lens unit that was mounted before the remounting, the predetermined synthesis processing is controlled to not capture a new image for the predetermined synthesis processing that was performed before the remounting.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program which causes, when read and executed by a computer, the computer to execute steps of a control method of an image capturing apparatus which can interchange a lens unit and includes an image capturing unit which captures images using an image sensor, the method comprising:

• synthesizing a plurality of images;
• and
• controlling predetermined synthesis processing for creating a synthetic image by causing the synthesizing to synthesize a plurality of images that have been obtained by the image capturing unit performing image capturing a plurality of time,
• wherein, if a lens unit that has been remounted after a first image for the predetermined synthesis processing was acquired is a lens unit having an image circle that is different from that of a lens unit that was mounted before the remounting, the predetermined synthesis processing is controlled to not capture a new image for the predetermined synthesis processing that was performed before the remounting.

• wherein, if a lens unit that has been remounted after a first image for the predetermined synthesis processing was acquired is a second type of lens unit different from a first type of lens unit that was mounted before the remounting, the controlling unit controls the predetermined synthesis processing to not capture a new image for the predetermined synthesis processing that was performed before the remounting,
• wherein the first type of lens unit is for a first type of image sensor, and the second type of lens unit is for a second type of image sensor different from the first type of image sensor.
