Image capturing apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium

A method executed at an image capturing apparatus with an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, a synchronization control unit configured to perform, in accordance with second synchronization signal which has been input, synchronization with the second synchronization signal such that the captured image is output to an external devise in synchronism with the second synchronization signal, a determination unit configured to determine whether the synchronization is stable, and mode control unit configured to switch an operation mode of the image capturing apparatus between a first operation mode for outputting the captured image to the external device and a second operation mode for not outputting the captured image to the external device, in response to an instruction for switching the operation mode,

• the method comprising:
• in a case where an instruction for switching the operation mode from the second operation mode to the first operation mode has been input and it is determined that the synchronization is stable, the mode control unit switching the operation mode from the second operation mode to the first operation mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs including instructions that, when executed by a processor of an image capturing apparatus comprising an image capturing unit configured to capture an image, a synchronization control unit configured to perform, in accordance with second synchronization signal which has been input, synchronization with the second synchronization signal such that the captured image is output to an external devise in synchronism with the second synchronization signal, a determination unit configured to determine whether the synchronization is stable, and mode control unit configured to switch an operation mode of the image capturing apparatus between a first operation mode for outputting the captured image to the external device and a second operation mode for not outputting the captured image to the external device, in response to an instruction for switching the operation mode,

• causes the processor to perform operations of:
• in a case where an instruction for switching the operation mode from the second operation mode to the first operation mode has been input and it is determined that the synchronization is stable, the mode control unit switching the operation mode from the second operation mode to the first operation mode.
