1. An image capturing apparatus including an image sensor section and a signal processor configured to process an image input from the image sensor section via a signal line, comprising:
a switching unit configured to switch the signal processor to one of a recognition mode and a learning mode,
wherein the image sensor section includes:
an image capturing unit configured to generate the image, and
a first recognition unit configured to perform recognition processing based on the image,
wherein the signal processor includes:
a second recognition unit configured to perform, in the recognition mode, recognition processing by inputting the image input from the image sensor section to a learning model, and
a learning unit configured to perform, in the learning mode, machine learning of the learning model based on a recognition result obtained by the first recognition unit and the image input from the image sensor section.
