Image capturing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing program

A control method for an image capturing apparatus including an image sensor and a plurality of optical systems configured to form an image of an object on the image sensor, the plurality of optical systems including at least a first optical system and a second optical system, light from the object present in different ranges entering the first optical system and the second optical system, the control method comprising:

• detecting a specific object from a first image generated based on an image formed on the image sensor via the first optical system;
• generating, upon detection of the specific object from the first image, a plurality of first images based on images formed on the image sensor via the plurality of optical systems, and storing the plurality of first images;
• detecting, after detection of the specific object from the first image, the specific object from a second image generated based on an image formed on the image sensor via the second optical system;
• and
• generating, upon detection of the specific object from the second image, a plurality of second images based on images formed on the image sensor via the plurality of optical systems, and storing the plurality of second images.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for an image capturing apparatus including an image sensor and a plurality of optical systems configured to form an image of an object on the image sensor, the plurality of optical systems including at least a first optical system and a second optical system, light from the object present in different ranges entering the first optical system and the second optical system, the control method comprising:

• detecting a specific object from a first image generated based on an image formed on the image sensor via the first optical system;
• generating, upon detection of the specific object from the first image, a plurality of first images based on images formed on the image sensor via the plurality of optical systems, and storing the plurality of first images;
• detecting, after detection of the specific object from the first image, the specific object from a second image generated based on an image formed on the image sensor via the second optical system;
• and
• generating, upon detection of the specific object from the second image, a plurality of second images based on images formed on the image sensor via the plurality of optical systems, and storing the plurality of second images.
