Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a light value holding unit that holds light values based on signal charges generated during a first exposure period and a second exposure period having at least one of start timing and end timing different from that of the first exposure period, a comparison unit that compares the light value based on the signal charge generated during the first exposure period with the light value based on the signal charge generated during the second exposure period, and a control unit that sets a third exposure period and a fourth exposure period having at least one of the start timing and end timing different from that of the third exposure period on the basis of a comparison result of the comparison unit. The third and fourth exposure periods are less than at least one of the first and second exposure periods.
