In a photoelectric conversion device, a pixel array is read in a first mode in which a signal based on charges obtained by adding a charge generated in a first photoelectric conversion unit and a charge generated in a second photoelectric conversion unit is read, and a second mode in which a signal based on a charge generated in any one of the first and second photoelectric conversion units is read, and then a signal based on charges obtained by adding charges generated in the first and second photoelectric conversion units is read, reading from a first region is performed in the first mode, reading from a second region is performed in the second mode, and reading from a part of a third region arranged between the first and second regions is performed in the first mode, and reading from another part of that is performed in the second mode.
