1. A photoelectric conversion device comprising:
a plurality of pixels arranged in a plurality of rows;
a scanning unit that performs a first scan and a second scan for sequentially outputting signals from the plurality of pixels for each row;
a first storage unit that stores a first setting value representing a setting of the first scan in response to an input from the outside;
a second storage unit that stores a second setting value representing a setting of the second scan in response to an input from the outside; and
a third storage unit,
wherein the scanning unit performs the first scan based on the first setting value and the second scan based on the second setting value in one frame period,
wherein both storing of the first setting value in the first storage unit and storing of the second setting value by the second storage unit are performed prior to a start of the first scan and a start of the second scan, and
wherein the third storage unit stores the first setting value input from the outside and outputs the first setting value to the first storage unit.
