Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes: an image capturing unit that includes an imaging device and outputs an image signal obtained by image capturing of a subject by the imaging device through an image capturing optical system; a control unit that, in a case of controlling an exposure for each of three or more division regions obtained by dividing an image represented by the image signal and in a case of dividing the image into a plurality of segment regions that are different from the division regions and among which a segment region extends across a boundary between some of the division regions, controls an exposure of the segment region in accordance with information about at least one division region among the some of the division regions over which the segment region extends; and a display unit that displays the image for which the exposure is controlled by the control unit.
