Abstract:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: an image capturing unit configured to capture a subject by an image sensor in which focus detection pixels for performing focus detection are arranged at positions of some image capturing pixels, and output image capturing data; and an image processing unit configured to correct, by a correction coefficient, pixel data output from the focus detection pixels, out of the image capturing data, the image processing unit including: a correction range determination unit configured to determine, as a correction range, a range of the correction coefficient based on an optical condition of a photographing optical system configured to form an image on the image sensor; a correction coefficient calculation unit configured to calculate the correction coefficient based on pixel data of a pixel positioned near the focus detection pixel; and a pixel correction unit configured to correct the pixel data of the focus detection pixel based on the correction coefficient and the correction range.
