Abstract
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a processing circuit, and a memory that stores a computer-readable instruction for causing, when executed by the processing circuit, the photoelectric conversion apparatus to generate control signals for controlling an operation of an image capturing unit configured to perform image capturing using avalanche light emission, control a first generation unit to generate control signals of a first frame and a second frame, wherein a number of the control signals during an exposure period of the second frame is smaller than a number of the control signals during an exposure period of the first frame, acquire an output of the first frame captured by the image capturing unit and an output of the second frame captured by the image capturing unit, and generate an image based on the output of the first frame and the output of the second frame.
