Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit configured to receive light beams split after passing through an aperture and output a plurality of stereopsis image data. When the object brightness falls within a predetermined range and the image capturing unit performs image capturing in which a plurality of stereopsis image data are output, the aperture is controlled to open much more than when the image capturing unit performs image capturing in which a plurality of stereopsis image data are not output at the same exposure.
