The control unit executes thinning-out drive to thin out a part of readout of the plurality of pixels in the first mode and the second mode, sets a second thinning-out rate in the thinning-out drive of the second mode to be lower than a first thinning-out rate of the thinning-out drive of the first mode, and changes the second angle of view of the recording region following movement of a subject in the recording region in the second mode, and changes the second thinning-out rate of the recording region with change in the second angle of view in the second mode.
