Image capturing apparatus, method of controlling the same, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A method of controlling an image capturing apparatus comprising an image sensor, comprising:

• encoding image data;
• setting a capturing mode;
• when recording a RAW image file,
• controlling, if a capturing mode of a first dynamic range is set in the setting, a first encoded image data, obtained by performing an encoding process of a first encoding format on image data of the first dynamic range generated based on RAW image data captured by the image sensor in the capturing mode of the first dynamic range, is to be recorded as an image for display of the RAW image file in which the RAW image data is stored, and
• controlling, if a capturing mode of a second dynamic range is set in the setting, a second encoded image data, obtained by performing an encoding process of the second encoding format on image data of the second dynamic range generated based on RAW image data captured by the image sensor in the capturing mode of the second dynamic range, is to be recorded as an image for display of the RAW image file in which the RAW image data is stored.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to be loaded into and executed by a computer comprising image sensor, thereby causing the computer to execute a control method comprising:

• encoding image data;
• setting a capturing mode;
• when recording a RAW image file,
• controlling, if a capturing mode of a first dynamic range is set in the setting, a first encoded image data, obtained by performing an encoding process of a first encoding format on image data of the first dynamic range generated based on RAW image data captured by the image sensor in the capturing mode of the first dynamic range, is to be recorded as an image for display of the RAW image file in which the RAW image data is stored, and
• controlling, if a capturing mode of a second dynamic range is set in the setting, a second encoded image data, obtained by performing an encoding process of the second encoding format on image data of the second dynamic range generated based on RAW image data captured by the image sensor in the capturing mode of the second dynamic range, is to be recorded as an image for display of the RAW image file in which the RAW image data is stored.
