Abstract: An image capturing apparatus comprising a sphere portion for performing image capturing and a support unit that supports the sphere portion, wherein the sphere portion comprises: an image capturing unit; and a power reception unit configured to wirelessly receive a supply of power, and the support unit comprises: support portions that support the sphere portion, each support portion having a driving motor, a power transmission unit configured to wirelessly supply power to the power reception unit, and a detection unit configured to detect a power supply efficiency; and a control unit configured to, based on power supply efficiencies, select the power transmission unit arranged in one support portion, and, based on a position of the selected power transmission unit, control the driving motor so that the sphere portion aligns to a predetermined reference position.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus having a movable unit for performing image capture and a supporting unit that supports the movable unit, the movable unit including an image capturing unit that captures an object, and the supporting including a driving unit that drives so as to change the orientation of the movable unit, a position detection unit that detects the position of the movable unit, a shake detection unit that detects shake of the image capturing apparatus, a determination unit that determines a driving target position of the driving unit, based on the shake detected by the shake detection unit, and a control unit that controls the driving unit such that the position of the movable unit detected by the position detection unit converges to the driving target position determined by the determination unit.
