Image processor and method for controlling the same

An image capturing apparatus, comprising:

• an image capturing unit configured to take an image of an object and sequentially output image signals;
• an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on an image captured by the image capturing unit;
• a detection unit configured to detect a shooting scene for the image captured by the image capturing unit;
• a determination unit configured to determine priorities of a plurality of different image processing methods to be used by the image processing unit based on a result of the detection by the detection unit;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the image processing unit so as to generate a plurality of images on which different image processing methods of the plurality of image processing methods have been performed in accordance with the priorities,
• wherein the control unit simplifies image processing by using lower-priority image processing methods of the plurality of different image processing methods.
• a display unit configured to sequentially display images corresponding to the image signals.
