Abstract
An image capturing apparatus that is capable of accurately acquiring motion vectors according to a photographing environment and performing blur correction with high accuracy. The image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, and a photometry unit that performs photometry of a photographing environment. A motion vector calculation section calculates motion vectors based on images acquired by the image sensor. A camera system controller calculates a reliability of the motion vectors. A photographing condition determination section determines photographing conditions for consecutively photographing a plurality of images by the image sensor, according to a photometry result and the calculated reliability.
