Image capture apparatus and control method therefor

An image capture apparatus, comprises:

• an image sensor;
• and
• a controller that controls operation of the image sensor, wherein
• the image sensor has a plurality of pixels,
• each of the plurality of pixels comprises
• a photoelectric conversion device;
• and
• a first storage circuit that stores an electric charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion device, and
• has a first read-out path for reading an electric charge stored in the first storage circuit, and a second read-out path for reading an electric charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion device without going through the first storage circuit, and wherein
• the controller controls operation of the image sensor so that:
• an electric charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion device related to capturing based on an instruction by a user is read via the first read-out path;
• an electric charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion device related to capturing for information detection is read via the second read-out path;
• and
• reading via the second read-out path of the electric charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion device related to capturing for information detection is executed in a period overlapping a period for reading an electric charge via the first read-out path.
