Patent ID: 8749664

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: a change unit configured to change a driving state of an image sensor for capturing an image signal in response to an operation for changing the driving state of the image sensor; and a flicker correction unit configured to correct an image signal captured in a present driving state of the image sensor based on a flicker component detected from an image signal, which is captured in a previous driving state of the image sensor, of a frame captured a number of frames prior to the image signal, wherein when the driving state of the image sensor changes from a driving state of a moving image capturing to a driving state of a still image capturing, and further changes to the driving state of the moving image capturing, the flicker correction unit corrects an image signal of a captured still image based on a flicker component detected from a predetermined number of frames prior to the captured still image, and corrects an image signal of a newly captured moving image based on a flicker component detected from the previously captured frame of the image signal in the driving state of the moving image capturing not using the captured still image.
