Abstract:
1. An image capturing apparatus comprising: an image capturing unit configured to capture an image; a determination unit configured to determine a plurality of object regions from the captured image; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a photometric value for each of the object regions; a decision unit configured to decide an exposure condition based on the photometric value for each of the object regions; and a tone conversion unit configured to convert a tone of the captured image based on the exposure condition, wherein the tone conversion unit sets tone conversion characteristics of the captured image from the exposure condition decided by the decision unit such that tone conversion characteristics in a case where the exposure condition is decided based on a photometric value of a first region from the plurality of object regions is different from tone conversion characteristics in a case where the exposure condition is decided based on a photometric value of a second region which is different from the first region from the plurality of object regions.
