According to this invention, even when an image capturing apparatus has a plurality of read modes, the frame rate can be prevented from decreasing in a high-resolution video photographing mode. The image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor and drive unit. The image sensor includes an effective image sensing area having a plurality of pixels at the center portion of the image sensor, and a light-shielded pixel area having a plurality of light-shielded pixels at the peripheral portion of the image sensor. The drive unit can drive the image sensor in a plurality of modes, and drives the image sensor such that the plurality of read modes are almost equal to the light-shielded pixel read time BL-MIN for reading pixel signals in the light-shielded pixel area.
