1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
an image sensor;
a first display unit;
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor of the image capturing apparatus to:
generate an image by performing predetermined calculation processing using a signal converted by the image sensor;
perform output control to output the image with predetermined information superimposed on the image to the first display unit and an external apparatus; and
acquire a first direction of the first display unit and a second direction of a second display unit of the external apparatus,
wherein
the output control is performed such that the image unrotated is output with the predetermined information rotated by 90 degrees superimposed on the image to the external apparatus if the first direction is 90 degrees from a reference direction and the second direction is 90 degrees from the reference direction,
the image rotated by 180 degrees is output with the predetermined information rotated by 90 degrees superimposed on the rotated image to the external apparatus if the first direction is 90 degrees from the reference direction and the second direction is 270 degrees from the reference direction,
the image rotated by 180 degrees is output with the predetermined information rotated by 270 degrees superimposed on the rotated image to the external apparatus if the first direction is 270 degrees from the reference direction and the second direction is 90 degrees from the reference direction,
the image unrotated is output with the predetermined information rotated by 270 degrees superimposed on the image to the external apparatus if the first direction is 270 degrees from the reference direction and the second direction is 270 degrees from the reference direction, and
the image unrotated is output with the predetermined information superimposed on the image to the first display unit, regardless of the first direction and the second direction.
