Image capturing apparatus for recording a raw image, control method of image capturing apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable storage medium with continuous shooting mode control of development process on raw image data in accordance with free storage space

摘要

An image capturing apparatus comprising an image capturing unit, a generating unit which generates RAW image data with an image obtained by the image capturing unit, wherein the generating unit sequentially generates RAW image data of a plurality of pictures in a continuous shooting mode, a storage unit temporarily storing the RAW image data, a first development unit performing development processing on the RAW image data, a recording unit recording, onto a recording medium, first image data obtained by the first development unit and the RAW image data and a control unit, in the continuous shooting mode, performing control so that the first development unit does not perform the development processing on the RAW image data if free storage space of the storage unit available for storing the RAW image data is smaller than a first threshold.

1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
an image capturing unit; a generating unit configured to generate RAW image data by using an image obtained by the image capturing unit, wherein the generating unit sequentially generates RAW image data of a plurality of pictures in a continuous shooting mode; a memory configured to temporarily store the RAW image data; a first development unit configured to perform development processing on the RAW image data stored in the memory; a recording unit configured to record, onto a recording medium, (1) first image data developed by the first development unit and (2) the RAW image data stored in the memory; and a control unit configured to, in the continuous shooting mode, control whether to perform, by the first development unit, the development processing on the RAW image data stored in the memory, in accordance with free storage space of the memory available for storing the RAW image data, wherein the control unit, in the continuous shooting mode, controls (1) the generating unit to generate the RAW image data and to write the RAW image data into the memory, (2) the recording unit to read the RAW image data from the memory and to record the RAW image data onto the recording medium, and (3) the first development unit not to perform the development processing on the RAW image data stored in the memory, if the free storage space of the memory available for storing the RAW image data is smaller than a first threshold.
