Abstract
An image capturing apparatus comprises an image sensor in which a plurality of pixels are arranged two-dimensionally, and a control unit configured to control a band gap of the pixels of the image sensor, wherein the control unit, in a case where defective pixel detection processing is performed on the image sensor, controls the band gap so as to be smaller than in a case where normal image capture is performed.
Claims19
An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor in which a plurality of pixels are arranged two-dimensionally;
- and
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions which cause the at least one processor to perform operations of a control unit, wherein:
- the control unit is configured to control a band gap of the pixels of the image sensor, and
- wherein the control unit, in a case where defective pixel detection processing is performed on the image sensor, controls the band gap so as to be smaller than in a case where normal image capture is performed.

An image capturing apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor in which a plurality of pixels are arranged two-dimensionally;
- and
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions which cause the at least one processor to perform operations of a control unit, wherein:
- the control unit is configured to control a curvature of the image sensor,
- wherein the control unit, in a case where defective pixel detection processing is performed on the image sensor, controls the curvature so as to be smaller than in a case where normal image capture is performed.
