Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus capable of recording still images during movie recording, comprising: an automatic exposure control unit adapted to perform an aperture value control processing for movie recording and to perform an aperture value control processing for still image recording when an initiation instruction for a still image recording preparation process is issued during the movie recording; and an image recording unit adapted to perform still image recording processing while continuously performing movie recording when an initiation instruction for still image recording processing is issued after the initiation instruction for a still image recording preparation process is issued, wherein the automatic exposure control unit performs the aperture value control processing for still image recording using an aperture value, which is being used for movie recording at the time when the initiation instruction for a still image recording preparation process was issued, as a minimum aperture value used for the aperture value control processing for still image recording.
