ABSTRACT:
There is described an image capturing apparatus, which makes it possible to conduct a high-accurate range finding operation irrespective of the position of the subject. The apparatus, comprises: a plurality of imaging elements; a plurality of luminance signal generating sections, each of which generates a luminance signal by mixing the plural wavelength signals with each other at a predetermined mixture ratio; a plurality of mixture ratio controlling sections, which respectively correspond to the plurality of imaging elements, and each of which changes a mixture ratio, at which the plural wavelength signals are mixed with each other, based on a positional relationship between a corresponding one of the plurality of imaging elements and a subject; and a range detecting section to detect a distance to the subject, based on a correlation between luminance signals, each of which is the luminance signal generated by each of the luminance signal generating sections.
