Claim:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: an image sensor; a processor; and a memory storing a computer program which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to: control the image sensor to repeat image capture of frame images under different exposures; apply development processing to develop each of the captured frame images; generate a composite image by compositing temporally consecutive developed captured frame images that have been developed, and generate HDR video using sequentially generated composite images, wherein the processor generates, from one captured frame image of the captured frame images, a first image and a second image that are associated with different development parameters, one development parameter in the different development parameters being calculated for the one captured frame image of the captured frame images and another development parameter in the different development parameters being calculated for another captured frame image of the captured frame images other than the one captured frame image of the captured frame images, and the processor generates the composite image by compositing temporally consecutive developed captured frame images that have been developed using the same development parameter.
