An image capturing apparatus that communicates with an external device includes a field-of-view changing unit configured to change a field of view for capturing an image of a subject, a receiving unit, a control unit, and an amount-of-change determination unit. The receiving unit receives, from the external device, a command for controlling the field-of-view changing unit. The control unit controls, when the receiving unit receives a command to start to change a field of view, the field-of-view changing unit to start to change the field of view. The amount-of-change determination unit determines an amount of change in the field of view. The control unit controls the field-of-view changing unit such that the determined amount of change in the field of view becomes a predetermined amount or more, irrespective of whether the receiving unit receives a command to stop changing the field of view using the field-of-view changing unit.
