1. An image capturing apparatus having a live view function, comprising:
a pixel array that has a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arranged in a matrix;
a readout section that is capable of reading out first image data with a first resolution and second image data with a second resolution from the pixel array;
an operation section that is operated to give an instruction signal indicative of a start of reading out the image data with the second resolution;
a resolution conversion section configured to convert the image data with the second resolution, which is read out from the pixel array based on the instruction signal, to image data with a third resolution;
an output section that is capable of outputting the image data with the first resolution, which is read out, and the image data with the third resolution;
a generation section configured to generate display image data based on image data output from the output section;
a storage section that stores the display image data; and
a display section that displays the display image data,
wherein a storage time period during which the storage section stores the display image data is controlled to thereby equalize a time period from a frame start to a start of displaying the image data with the first resolution by the display section and a time period from a frame start to a start of displaying the image data with the third resolution by the display section.
