Claim:
1. A method of controlling a digital photographing apparatus in which a read-out mode is changed while capturing a moving image, the method comprising: capturing a moving image with a predetermined frame rate in a first read-out mode; estimating a brightness of surroundings; determining a shutter speed for a frame of the moving image to be currently captured, based on the estimated brightness of the surroundings; determining whether or not an exposure time, for capturing the moving image, that is dependent on the shutter speed is longer than a predetermined time period; and changing the first read-out mode to a second read-out mode that has a shorter read-out time than a read-out time of the first read-out mode so that the predetermined frame rate is maintained when determining that the exposure time is longer than the predetermined time period, wherein the determining of whether or not the exposure time, for capturing the moving image, that is dependent on the shutter speed is longer than the predetermined time period comprises:
