This invention provides an image capturing apparatus which comprises an image sensor configured to obtain a video signal, and at least one processor which function as a first converting unit configured to convert the video signal obtained from the image sensor into an HDR video signal; a second converting unit configured to convert the HDR video signal obtained by the first converting unit into an SDR video signal; and a controller configured to associate at least one of the HDR video signal obtained by the first converting unit and the SDR video signal obtained by second conversion means with conversion characteristic information, the conversion characteristic information representing conversion characteristics for converting the HDR video signal and the SDR video signal to one another, the controller being configured to store the associated HDR video signal or SDR video signal in a recording medium.

Input/output (I/O) operation requests from pageable storage mode guests are interpreted without host intervention. In a pageable mode virtual environment, requests issued by pageable storage mode guests are processed by one or more processors of the environment absent intervention from one or more hosts of the environment. Processing of the requests includes manipulating, by at least one processor on behalf of the guests, buffer state information stored in host storage. The manipulating is performed via instructions initiated by the guests and processed by one or more of the processors.
