Image capturing apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium
An image capturing apparatus comprises: a focus detection unit; a mirror movable between a first position where the mirror is inserted in an imaging light path a second position where the mirror is withdrawn from the imaging light path; and a calculation unit configured to predict a moving amount of a subject on the basis of a history of focus detection result and calculate an in-focus position using the predicted moving amount. In a case of continuously performing first and second image shootings, the calculation unit performs the prediction for the second image shooting before the mirror finishes moving from the second position in the first image shooting to the first position, and the focus detection unit continues charge accumulation until the mirror starts to move from the first position to the second position for the first image shooting.
