1. An image sensing apparatus comprising:

  • an image sensing unit in which a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements are arranged on a image sensing plane; and

    a control unit, whereinsaid control unit has a first mode in which image signals are read out from a first photoelectric conversion element group arranged in a first region of said image sensing plane; and

    a second mode in which image signals are read out from a second photoelectric conversion element group arranged in a second region that is smaller than said first region of said image sensing plane, andusing correction values obtained based on said image signals outputted from said image sensing unit by controlling said image sensing unit in said first mode, said image signals outputted from said image sensing unit by controlling said image sensing unit in said second mode are subjected to a white balance process.
