At least one image capturing apparatus communicating via a network with an external apparatus can insert and remove an infrared light cut filter to and from an optical path of an image-capturing optical system of the image capturing apparatus, and when a setting value of a communication protocol describing a brightness value of brightness of a subject and a delay time for determining the brightness and describing the brightness value and the delay time for the insertion and removal of the infrared light cut filter is received from the external apparatus via a network, then a determination is made as to whether the setting value matches a setting value suitable for another protocol, and when the setting value does not match the setting value suitable for another protocol, the setting value including the brightness value and the delay time is converted into a setting value suitable for another protocol.
