An image capturing apparatus includes an optical device including an ND filter, a control unit, a memory that stores instructions, and a processor. The processor executes the stored instructions to cause the control unit to control at least two exposure parameters, insert and remove the ND filter into and from an optical axis of the optical device, and analyze a depth of an image capturing range, a movement of a subject, or an importance of a scene. The executing the stored instructions by the processor further causes the control unit to, at a time at which insertion and removal of the ND filter is performed, perform exposure control so as to offset brightness changes of output images accompanying the insertion and removal of the ND filter by using a combination of the exposure parameters and control amounts determined based on a result of the analyzing.
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
A control method for controlling an image capturing apparatus that includes an optical device including a Neutral Density (ND) filter, the control method comprising:
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for an image capturing apparatus that includes an optical device including a Neutral Density (ND) filter, the program causing a computer to perform a method for the image capturing apparatus, the method comprising:
