Abstract:
A focus detection device includes a field lens, a secondary image forming lens configured to capture a light flux from the field lens and to form a pair of images from light fluxes from different pupil positions, and a photoelectric conversion device including a pixel region including at least one focus detection region pair that detects the pair of images. The photoelectric conversion device includes pixels arranged in the pixel region in a matrix. The photoelectric conversion device includes control lines each supplying control signal to at least a part of pixels on a corresponding row, and output lines each receiving a signal from at least a part of pixels on a corresponding column. At least a pair of the pixels connected to a common control line or a common output line form the at least one focus detection region pair and output signals to be used for focus detection.

Claim (Index 19):
A method of driving a photoelectric conversion device including a plurality of control lines arranged in a first direction, a plurality of output lines arranged in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a pixel region that includes a plurality of pixels that are provided at intersections of the plurality of control lines and the plurality of output lines, respectively, output signals based on charges generated by photoelectric converters in accordance with control signals supplied to the control lines, and includes a first focus detection region pair used for detecting a parallax in the first direction and a second focus detection region pair used for detecting a parallax in the second direction, the method comprising:\n dividing the pixel region into a first divided region in which the first focus detection region pair is arranged, a second divided region in which one focus detection region of the second focus detection region pair is arranged, and a third divided region in which the other focus detection region of the second focus detection region pair is arranged and performing readout of signals from the pixels for each of the first divided region, the second divided region, and the third divided region.
