Abstract

A photoelectric conversion apparatus comprises a pixel region where pixels are arranged in a matrix, a sample hold circuit configured to sample and hold, as a first signal and a second signal, two different signals output from each of two pixels in the pixel region, and an analog-digital conversion circuit configured to perform analog-digital conversion of the second signals from the two pixels after performing analog-digital conversion of the first signals from the two pixels. A time interval between a period set to perform analog-digital conversion of the first signals from the two pixels and a period set to perform analog-digital conversion of the second signals from the two pixels is set longer than a time interval between periods set to perform analog-digital conversion of each of the first signals from the two pixels.
