Abstract:
In an image capturing apparatus, an image sensing device includes a plurality of groups of pixels each including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements being readable separately for each photoelectric conversion element via a signal line used in common by each group of pixels. A reading unit performs, on a plurality of groups of pixels, a reading-out operation to reading out a signal as a first signal from part of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and a second reading-out operation to mix signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and read out a resultant mixed signal as an image signal. A generation unit generates one image file including the first signal, the image signal, and defect data indicating a group of pixels for which the first signal is defective while the image signal is not defective.

Claim (Index 1):
An image capturing apparatus comprising:\n an image sensing device including a plurality of groups of pixels, each pixel of each group of pixels including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements; one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions which, when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, cause the image Processing apparatus to function as: a reading unit configured to perform, on a plurality of groups of pixels, a reading-out operation for reading out a signal as a first signal from part of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and a reading-out operation for mixing signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and reading out a resultant mixed signal as an image signal; a correction unit configured to make a correction based on defect data which is data indicating a group of pixels for which when signals are read out from the photoelectric conversion elements by the reading unit, the first signal read from this group of pixels is defective while the image signal read out from this group of pixels is not defective, the correction being made on the first signal read out from the group of pixels indicated by the defect data; and a generation unit configured to generate one image file including the first signal corrected by the correction unit and the image signal.
