A photoelectric conversion apparatus comprising: pixels; L (L≥3) vertical signal lines disposed on each pixel column; M (M≥2) selection circuits disposed in each pixel, each of the selection circuits respectively connecting one of the pixels to a different vertical signal line; a vertical scanning circuit configured to scan the selection circuits; and a control unit. The control unit sets first operation mode in which the vertical scanning circuit performs a single read scanning operation at a time, and a second operation mode in which the vertical scanning circuit performs multiple read scanning operations at a time. In the first operation mode, the control unit uses first selection circuit out of the M selection circuits for scanning operation. In the second operation mode, the control unit uses a second selection circuit, which is different from the first selection circuit, out of the M selection circuits for scanning operation.
