1. An image capturing control apparatus to control image capturing of an image capturing apparatus, the image capturing control apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
instruct the image capturing apparatus to capture a first image with first exposure times applied to a plurality of regions of an image sensor included in the image capturing apparatus;
calculate a second exposure time to be equally applied to the plurality of regions based on the first exposure times; and
instruct the image capturing apparatus to capture a second image with the second exposure time equally applied to the plurality of regions,
wherein the second exposure time is calculated to be equally applied to the plurality of regions based on a median of the first exposure times.
