Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus comprises: a first image sensor having a plurality of pixels each counts a number of entering photons and outputs a count value as a first image signal; a second image sensor having a plurality of pixels each outputs an electric signal corresponding to a charge amount obtained by performing photoelectric conversion on entering light as a second image signal; and a generator that generates an image by selecting one of the first image signal and the second image signal.
