Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image capturing apparatus, includes: an image capturing element configured to capture an image of a subject; and a focusing control unit configured to perform a focusing control by a phase difference AF method using detection signals of first signal detection units and second signal detection units; a matching degree generation unit configured to generate a first matching degree which corresponds to a matching degree of two images captured by a first pair using the detection signals of the respective signal detection units of the first pair, and a second matching degree which corresponds to a matching degree of two images captured by a second pair using the detection signals of the respective signal detection units of the second pair; and a credibility determination unit configured to determine credibility of the focusing control by the phase difference AF method based on the first matching degree and the second matching degree.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image capturing apparatus, comprising: an image capturing element configured to capture an image of a subject through an image capturing optical system, wherein the image capturing element comprises signal detection units having first signal detection units and second signal detection units, each of the first signal detection units is configured to detect a signal according to one of a pair of light fluxes, said one and the other of the pair of light flux…
