An image capturing apparatus capable of detecting a flicker frequency without deteriorating a detection accuracy even when a frequency of a light source heightens. The image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor including a photoelectric conversion region configured to photoelectrically convert an object image and output signal charges, charge storage regions that are provided for the photoelectric conversion region and are capable of storing the signal charges and outputting corresponding image capturing signals, and charge transfer regions that transfers the signal charges from the photoelectric conversion region to the charge storage regions in a time-division manner, a memory device that stores instructions, and a processor that executes the instructions to change a transfer cycle of the signal charges in the time-division manner, and calculate a flicker frequency of a light source by using the image capturing signals output from the respective charge storage regions based on the changed transfer cycle.
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
A control method for an image capturing apparatus including an image sensor including a photoelectric conversion region that photoelectrically converts an object image and outputs signal charges, a plurality of charge storage regions that are provided for the photoelectric conversion region and are capable of storing the signal charges and outputting corresponding image capturing signals, and charge transfer regions that transfer the signal charges from the photoelectric conversion region to the plurality of charge storage regions in a time-division manner, the control method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program causing a computer to execute a control method for an image capturing apparatus including an image sensor including a photoelectric conversion region that photoelectrically converts an object image and outputs signal charges, a plurality of charge storage regions that are provided for the photoelectric conversion region and are capable of storing the signal charges and outputting corresponding image capturing signals, and charge transfer regions that transfer the signal charges from the photoelectric conversion region to the plurality of charge storage regions in a time-division manner, the control method comprising:
