An image capturing apparatus comprises a photoelectric conversion unit that performs photoelectric conversion on incident light that has passed through an imaging lens and outputs an electric signal, the photoelectric conversion unit including a plurality of two-dimensionally arranged pixels, and a plurality of micro lenses formed between the imaging lens and the photoelectric conversion unit. The plurality of micro lenses respectively corresponds to a plurality of areas in the photoelectric conversion unit and each of the areas includes a predetermined number of pixels. Among the pixels, those whose receiving quantity of light is small in each area due to a characteristic of an optical system including the imaging lens and the micro lenses and a characteristic of the photoelectric conversion unit are configured as pixels for use in calculation of a reference value for the electric signals output from the photoelectric conversion unit. |
