An image capturing apparatus includes: an image sensor; an analog-image processing unit; a timing generator; a mechanical shutter; and a control unit that performs completing parameter settings to the timing generator and performs time setting for time at which the mechanical shutter is to be closed. The parameter settings cause an operation mode of the image sensor to switch to a still-image photographing mode. In response to an instruction to capture a still image, the control unit inserts a dummy still-image exposure period and a dummy still-image read period into a point in time before a still-image exposure period and a still-image read period, performs completing of the parameter settings during the dummy still-image exposure period, and when the still-image exposure period is started after an elapse of the dummy still-image read period, then performs the time setting. |
