Abstract
An image capturing apparatus capable of shooting still images during moving image shooting generates an alternate frame image corresponding to a moving image frame dropped when acquiring a still image when performing still image shooting during moving image shooting, using the obtained still image. At this point, white balance control values are respectively set for the still image and the alternate frame image. The still image and the alternate frame image are developed using the set white balance control values.
Claims11
An image capturing apparatus capable of shooting still images during moving image shooting, the apparatus comprising:
- still image shooting unit adapted to perform still image shooting during moving image shooting to obtain a still image;
- generating unit adapted to generate an alternate image corresponding to a moving image upon still image shooting performed by the still image shooting unit using the still image;
- setting unit adapted to set respective white balance control values for the still image and the alternate image;
- and
- image processing unit adapted to perform image processing on the still image and the alternate image using white balance control values set by the setting unit.
An image capturing apparatus capable of shooting still images during moving image shooting, the apparatus comprising:
- still image shooting unit adapted to perform still image shooting during moving image shooting to obtain a still image;
- generating unit adapted to generate an alternate image corresponding to a moving image upon still image shooting performed by the still image shooting unit using the still image;
- and
- image processing unit adapted to perform image processing on the still image and the alternate image using a parameter that tracks the light source condition at the time of the still image shooting.
An image capturing apparatus capable of shooting still images during moving image shooting, the apparatus comprising:
- still image shooting unit adapted to perform still image shooting during moving image shooting to obtain a still image;
- generating unit adapted to generate an alternate frame image corresponding to a moving image frame upon still image shooting performed by the still image shooting unit using the still image;
- and
- image processing unit adapted to perform image processing of the still image using a parameter that tracks the light source condition at the time of the still image shooting, and performing image processing of the alternate image using a parameter that suppresses tracking of the light source condition at the time of the still image shooting.
