1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
an image sensor configured to capture a plurality of images according to a method for pixel shifting; and
at least one processor configured to:
determine a first region in each of the plurality of images;
determine a number of times of image capturing based on the first region;
set a pixel shift amount in the pixel shifting based on the number of times of image capturing; and
synthesize the first regions of the plurality of images,
wherein a perceived resolution of the synthesized first region after the first regions of the plurality of images are synthesized is higher than a perceived resolution of the first region of each of the plurality of images.
