1. A photoelectric conversion apparatus comprising:
pixels disposed two-dimensionally in a row direction and a column direction;
an L number of (L is 3 or greater integer) vertical signal lines disposed on each pixel column;
an M number of (M is 2 or greater integer) 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,
wherein the control unit is configured to set 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 a plurality of read scanning operations at a time,
wherein, in the first operation mode, the control unit is configured to perform the read scanning operation using a first selection circuit out of the M number of selection circuits, and
wherein, in the second operation mode, the control unit is configured to perform the read scanning operation using a second selection circuit, which is different from the first selection circuit, out of the M number of selection circuits,
wherein the plurality of read scanning operations in the second operation mode include a first read scanning operation and a second read scanning operation, and
wherein a cycle of the first read scanning operation is longer than a cycle of the second read scanning operation.
