Image capturing apparatus, control method for image capturing apparatus, and storage medium

A control method for an image capturing apparatus, the control method comprising:

• acquiring a signal from a photoelectric conversion element comprising an avalanche photodiode;
• performing correction processing on the signal based on position information for a pixel that is determined as a correction target;
• and
• controlling a number of pulses for a pulse signal during a period in which the signal for one frame is acquired;
• wherein
• when the correction processing is performed, a threshold for determining whether or not the correction processing will be performed on the signal is different in a first mode and a second mode wherein the number of pulses for the pulse signal is less in the second mode than in the first mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store a computer program for an image capturing apparatus to execute the following steps:

• acquiring a signal from a photoelectric conversion element comprising an avalanche photodiode;
• performing correction processing on the signal based on position information for a pixel that is determined as a correction target;
• and
• controlling a number of pulses for a pulse signal during a period in which the signal for one frame is acquired;
• wherein
• when the correction processing is performed, a threshold for determining whether or not the correction processing will be performed on the signal is different in a first mode and a second mode, wherein the number of pulses for the pulse signal is less in the second mode than in the first mode.
