Image capturing apparatus, control method of image capturing apparatus, and image capturing system

摘要

An image capturing apparatus comprises a focus detection unit configured to detect, based on a signal output from an image sensor, a focus evaluation value using one of a plurality of different focus detection methods, a correction unit configured to correct the focus evaluation value in accordance with the focus detection method used for the detection, and a storage unit configured to store information for calculating a reference correction value for correcting a focus evaluation value detected using a predetermined one of the focus detection methods, and information for calculating, from the reference correction value, a correction value for correcting a focus evaluation value detected using another of the focus detection methods. The correction unit calculates a correction value using the information stored in the storage unit, and corrects the focus evaluation value using the calculated correction value.

1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
a focus detection unit configured to detect, based on a signal output from an image sensor, a focus evaluation value for controlling an imaging optical system to be in an in-focus state using one of a plurality of different focus detection methods; a correction unit configured to correct the focus evaluation value in accordance with the focus detection method used for the detection; and a storage unit configured to store information for calculating a reference correction value for correcting a focus evaluation value detected using a predetermined focus detection method from among the plurality of different focus detection methods, and information for calculating, from the reference correction value, a correction value for correcting a focus evaluation value detected using a focus detection method other than the predetermined focus detection method from among the plurality of different focus detection methods, wherein the correction unit is configured to calculate a correction value for correcting the focus evaluation value using the information stored in the storage unit, and correct the focus evaluation value using the calculated correction value.
