1. An image capturing apparatus that communicates with an information processing apparatus that performs processing of combining an image of a real space and an image of a virtual space, the image capturing apparatus comprising:
an imaging unit configured to capture an image of a subject formed by an imaging optical system;
at least one processor; and
a memory in communication with the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the processor to function as:
a determination unit configured to determine at least one mode among a plurality of modes related to a viewing angle of the image capturing apparatus;
a generation unit configured to generate camera data including a first parameter indicating the mode determined by the determination unit and a second parameter corresponding to a lens position of the imaging optical system; and
a transmission unit configured to transmit camera setting information including the camera data to the information processing apparatus,
wherein the first parameter and the second parameter are used to identify the viewing angle of the image capturing apparatus, and
wherein the plurality of modes related to the viewing angle includes a first mode for individually performing enlargement processing by clipping a part of an image and change processing changing the viewing angle of the image capturing apparatus by changing the lens position, a second mode for performing the change processing by fixing an enlargement factor for the enlargement processing in the first mode, and a third mode for interlocking the lens position and the enlargement factor in the first mode.
