Claim:
1. An image capturing apparatus including a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions for each of a plurality of microlenses that are arranged in matrix, the image capturing apparatus comprising: a readout transistor configured to be driven using a first driving method in which a first signal is read out from part of the plurality of photoelectric conversion portions via an output line, and a second driving method in which an added signal is read out via the output line that is obtained by adding the first signal and a second signal read out from other part of the plurality of photoelectric conversion portions; a supplier configured to, in a case where the first signal is read out using the first driving method, supply an amperage that is smaller than that in a case where the added signal is read out using the second driving method, to the readout transistor; and a controller configured to control the amperage that is to be supplied via the supplier, wherein the controller controls supplying of an amperage based on positions of the plurality of microlenses arranged in the matrix.
