ABSTRACT:
An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing unit for capturing an image of an object; a light quantity storing unit for storing light quantity of the object which is outside of an image capturing region of the image capturing apparatus by corresponding the light quantity to a positional relationship between the image capturing unit and the object; an image capturing region variation detecting unit for detecting variation in the image capturing region of the image capturing unit; a positional relationship estimating unit for estimating a positional relationship between the image capturing unit and the object after the positional relationship between the image capturing unit and the object is varied on the basis of the variation in the image capturing region detected by the image capturing region variation detecting unit; and an image capturing condition control unit for controlling an image capturing condition by the image capturing unit on the basis of the light quantity stored by the light quantity storing unit, wherein the light quantity is corresponded to the positional relationship estimated by the positional relationship estimating unit.
