Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus in which a plurality of pixels each having a plurality of photoelectric conversion units for receiving light fluxes that have passed through different partial pupil regions of an imaging optical system are arrayed, wherein an entrance pupil distance Zs of the image sensor with respect to a minimum exit pupil distance Lmin of the imaging optical system and the maximum exit pupil distance Lmax of the imaging optical system satisfies a condition of 4 L min L max L min + 3 L max
