1. An image capturing apparatus comprising:
an image capturing unit configured to output image data;
a memory device that stores a set of instructions; and
at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to:
in a first operation mode in an pre-capturing mode,
display image data sequentially output from the image capturing unit as a live view image on a display unit;
hold pre-capture image data output from the image capturing unit during a period from detection of a first instruction instructing image capturing preparation to detection of a second instruction instructing recording of a captured image; and
record main image data output from the image capturing unit in response to the second instruction and the held pre-capture image data in a recording medium when the second instruction is detected,
in a second operation mode in the pre-capturing mode,
stop displaying the live view image on the display unit;
detect a change of an object based on the image data; and
hold the image data output from the image capturing unit based on a detection result.
