APPARATUS AND SYSTEM

Abstract: an apparatus including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements generates a plurality of subframes using signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, and generates a distance measurement frame using signals of the plurality of subframes, wherein the plurality of subframes includes at least a first subframe in which an exposure period is started after a lapse of a first period after light emission from a light emission element, and a second subframe in which an exposure period is started after a lapse of a second period longer than the first period after the light emission from the light emission element, wherein the first subframe includes at least a first exposure period and a second exposure period, wherein a start timing of the first exposure period and a start timing of the second exposure period are different.
