Claim 16:
17. A method of controlling an image capturing apparatus that includes an image sensor, comprising:
detecting a translational shake of the image capturing apparatus to output a speed signal;
acquiring a photographing magnification of a photographing optical system that causes light from an object to form an image on an imaging surface of the image sensor;
determining a total exposure time period for consecutively photographing a plurality of images by the image sensor;
predicting an imaging surface translational shake amount of the image sensor, which is to occur over the total exposure time period, based on the speed signal and the photographing magnification; and
determining an exposure time period of each of frames of the images to be consecutively photographed and the number of the frames of the images to be consecutively photographed, based on the total exposure time period and the imaging surface translational shake amount.
