1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
a photographing unit configured to capture image of an object to generate an image signal; a mode setting unit configured to set an image capturing mode from a plurality of image capturing modes corresponding to video systems of different standards; and a control unit configured to control an image signal acquisition period for representing a frame rate, wherein, in a case that the mode setting unit changes from a first image capturing mode to a second image capturing mode, the control unit sets the image signal acquisition period to be the nearest image signal acquisition period to an image signal acquisition period set in the first image capturing mode, among image signal acquisition periods corresponding to the second image capturing mode, and wherein image signal acquisition periods corresponding to the first image capturing mode include an image signal acquisition period that is not able to be set in the second image capturing mode.
