1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:

  • an image sensor that captures an image of a subject;

    one or more processors;

    one or more non-transitory memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the image capturing apparatus to perform operations comprising;

    setting an exposure for image capturing by the image sensor, wherein in a mode for acquiring a plurality of images for a time-lapse moving image by performing intermittent image capturing using the image sensor at preliminarily set predetermined image capture intervals, smoothing data on a brightness corresponding to a plurality of image capturing operations in the intermittent image capturing and setting an exposure for one image capturing operation in the intermittent image capturing according to the smoothed data; and

    acquiring first information including at least one of an image capture interval for the intermittent image capturing, a frame rate of the moving image, and shake information during image capturing of the subject,wherein, during a period between a first image capturing operation and a second image capturing operation subsequent to the first image capturing operation in the intermittent image capturing the setting includes determining a degree of the smoothing for the second image capturing operation based on the first information acquired by the acquiring, and the data on a brightness corresponding to the plurality of image capturing operations including the first image capturing operation.
