IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

An image capturing apparatus comprises an image sensing unit including an image sensor and configured to capture an image by photoelectric converting an optical image formed on an imaging surface and output an image signal, and a setting unit configured to set shooting parameters to be used at a time of capturing the image by the image sensing unit. The setting unit sets different shooting parameters to be used at the time of capturing the image by the image sensing unit between in a case where it is possible to perform image processing on the image signal by an external image processing apparatus and in a case where it is not possible to perform image processing on the image signal by the external image processing apparatus.
