An image-capturing apparatus, in which solid-state image-capturing elements having a large number of pixels are used, capable of suitably performing image-quality correction on a captured image. In a monitor reading mode, a camera system LSI ( 6 ) detects the read image signal which is read by thinning out pixels by an image-capturing device ( 3 ). Based on the detected data, control values for image-quality correction are computed in a microcomputer ( 9 ), and the camera system LSI ( 6 ) performs an image-quality correction process on the image signal based on these control values. When the image-capturing device shifts to a capture reading mode, the camera system LSI ( 6 ) temporarily stores the image signal, in which all the pixels are read, in the image memory ( 7 ), thereafter reads the image signal and detects it. The microcomputer ( 9 ) computes a control value on the basis of this detected data and the detected data in the previously used monitor reading mode. Thereafter, the camera system LSI ( 6 ) reads the image signal again, and performs an image-quality correction process on the basis of the control values by the microcomputer ( 9 ).
