Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device includes: pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit and a counting unit generating a count value based on incident light to the photoelectric conversion unit; and a calculation unit performing interpolation processing on the count value. Each pixel is controlled to either a first state in which generation of the count value is enabled or a second state in which that is disabled. In a first sub-frame period, a first pixel is in the first state, and a second pixel is in the second state. In a second sub-frame period, the second pixel is in the first state, and the first pixel is in the second state. The calculation unit calculates a second count value of the first pixel in the second sub-frame period by performing the interpolation processing using a first count value generated in the second pixel in the second sub-frame period.
