In a photoelectric converting apparatus including a sensor unit, a transfer unit,
and a memory unit, noise can be minimized. The sensor unit includes a plurality
of pixels each having at least a photoelectric converter and a first amplifier
for amplifying a signal derived from the photoelectric converter, and a memory
unit including a plurality of storage elements, for storing the signal derived
from the sensor unit, each storage element having a second amplifier for amplifying
a signal derived from the storage element to output an amplified signal, wherein
the gain of the first amplifier is made different from a gain of the second amplifier.
