Abstract

See full text

There is provided an image capturing apparatus including a movable unit. An acceleration detection unit detects an acceleration of the image capturing apparatus. A geomagnetic detection unit detects geomagnetism. A determining unit determines a direction of the image capturing apparatus by using the acceleration detected by the acceleration detection unit and the geomagnetism detected by the geomagnetic detection unit. When determining the direction of the image capturing apparatus at a predetermined timing during an operation period of the movable unit, the determining unit determines the direction of the image capturing apparatus by using the acceleration detected by the acceleration detection unit before start of the operation period of the movable unit and the geomagnetism detected by the geomagnetic detection unit during the operation period of the movable unit.
