An image capturing apparatus includes a solid-state imaging device unit including imaging regions for each of which exposure conditions are individually controllable, a calculation unit configured to calculate, for positions on the solid-state imaging device, a movement amount between a first position on the solid-state imaging device unit, corresponding to a portion in an image captured at a present imaging, and a second position on the solid-state imaging device unit, corresponding to the same portion in an image captured for a next imaging, and calculate a direction in which the first and second positions move based on control information directed to the image capturing apparatus, and a determination unit configured to determine the exposure conditions for each of the imaging regions to be used for the next imaging based on luminance distribution information about a captured image at the present imaging, the movement amount, and the calculated direction.
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
A method for controlling an image capturing apparatus comprising a solid-state imaging device unit having a plurality of imaging regions for each of which exposure conditions are individually controllable, the method comprising:
