Abstract

The disclosure provides an image capturing apparatus including an image capturing unit and configured to obtain a plurality of images to be used for generation of a combined image by performing continuous capturing using the image capturing unit, wherein the apparatus comprises a correction unit which detects a shake amount of the image capturing apparatus and performs image blur correction by changing a position of a correction member based on the shake amount; an acquisition unit which acquires a correctable amount representing a degree to which correction by the correction unit is possible from a current position of the correction member and the shake amount; and a decision unit which decides exposure time in next capturing based on a correctable amount acquired by the acquisition unit in a case where capturing for generating the combined image is being performed.
