Image capturing apparatus and imaging method |
摘要 |
An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor having focus detection pixels arrayed in pixel lines, and controls a ratio of pixel line addition to signal correlation amount addition in a focus detection region in accordance with subject information to perform focus detection with increased resolution and suppressed noise based on an image signal of a subject slanting in relation to the focus detection region. |

1. An image capturing apparatus, comprising:
an image sensor including focus detection pixels each including photoelectric converters that receive a pair of light beams that have passed through different pupil regions in an imaging optical system; a focus adjustment unit configured to perform focus adjustment of a phase difference type by using focus detection signals output from the image sensor; a pixel addition unit configured to add focus detection signals output every line of at least one focus detection pixel line of the focus detection pixels of the image sensor, the at least one focus detection pixel line being arrayed in a first direction, the pixel addition unit being configured to add the focus detection signals in a second direction that is different from the first direction; a correlation amount calculation unit configured to perform correlation calculation on the focus detection signals added in the second direction to obtain a correlation waveform value; a correlation amount addition unit configured to add correlation waveform values calculated by the correlation amount calculation unit; an addition ratio change unit configured to change the number of focus detection pixel lines to be subjected to the addition in the second direction and change the number of correlation waveform values, based on information about a subject; and an image displacement amount calculation unit configured to calculate an image displacement amount by using an output signal output from the correlation amount addition unit. |
