Provided is an image capturing apparatus for generating a multi-band image for examining a disease condition which has little amount of information. The image capturing apparatus includes: a variable spectroscopic element capable of varying a wavelength of light to be transmitted a wavelength band table recording therein wavelength bands corresponded with disease conditions an observation target identifying section that identifies a disease condition to be observed a variable spectroscopic element control section that controls the variable spectroscopic element to sequentially transmit light rays of a plurality of wavelengths within a range of a wavelength band recorded in the wavelength band table in correspondence with the disease condition identified by the observation target identifying section and an image capturing section that sequentially captures images by means of the light rays of a plurality of wavelengths transmitted through the variable spectroscopic element.
