Abstract

See full text

An image capturing apparatus comprises a communication unit configured to communicate with an external apparatus, an image capturing unit configured to generate image data by capturing an object, a setting unit configured to set a shooting condition, a specifying unit configured to specify an object in image data captured by the image capturing unit, wherein the object specified by the specifying unit is used to set the shooting condition by the setting unit, and a control unit configured to control the specifying unit so as to specify the object with less processing when shooting upon receiving an instruction from the external apparatus connected via the communication unit based on the object specified by the specifying unit as compared to a case in which shooting is performed by directly operating the image capturing apparatus.
