Patent ID: 8848070

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus comprising: a photographing unit configured to capture image of an object to generate an image signal; a mode setting unit configured to set an image capturing mode from a plurality of image capturing modes corresponding to different video systems of different standards, wherein a control value to be set in each of the plurality of image capturing modes is different from each other; and a control unit configured to control so as to: (i) perform a flicker detection based on an image signal obtained by performing image capturing operation by the photographing unit based on a first control value, and then set a second control value corresponding to a first image capturing mode set by the mode setting unit and perform the image capturing operation by the photographing unit based on the second control value, in a case that the mode setting unit sets the first image capturing mode and the flicker detection is performed, and (ii) perform the flicker detection based on an image signal obtained by performing image capturing operation by the photographing unit based on the first control value, and then set a third control value corresponding to a second image capturing mode set by the mode setting unit and perform the image capturing operation by the photographing unit based on the third control value, in a case that the mode setting unit sets the second image capturing mode and the flicker detection is performed, wherein the first control value is different from the second control value and the third control value.
