1. A photoelectric conversion device comprising:
a pixel;
a signal line to which a signal is output from the pixel;
a capacitive element having a first terminal and a second terminal, the first terminal being connected to the signal line;
a first control line, and
a first buffer having an input terminal connected to the first control line and having an output terminal connected to the second terminal,
wherein a variable potential is applied to the second terminal due to a change in a potential of the first control line.
