Image capturing system and driving method for reducing noise in a captured image

A driving method, comprising:

• by a lens apparatus including an actuator and enabled to be mounted on an image capturing apparatus,
• receiving, from the image capturing apparatus, drive frequency information used to set a drive frequency for the actuator, wherein the drive frequency information includes:
• a plurality of candidates for the drive frequency for the actuator, and
• a correspondence relation between a magnetic force of the lens apparatus and the plurality of candidates;
• setting a specific candidate of the plurality of candidates as the drive frequency for the actuator based on the magnetic force of the lens apparatus;
• and
• driving the actuator at the set drive frequency.

An image capturing apparatus in which a lens apparatus is enabled to be mounted, the image capturing apparatus, comprising:

• an image capturing element;
• an information generation section configured to generate drive frequency information used to set a drive frequency for an actuator included in the lens apparatus, wherein the drive frequency information includes:
• a plurality of candidates for the drive frequency for the actuator, and
• a correspondence relation between a magnetic force of the lens apparatus and the plurality of candidates;
• and
• a communication section configured to transmit the drive frequency information to the lens apparatus.
