Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. A recording and reproducing method for recording and reproducing image information, comprising:
photographing, by a photographing sensor, an object and generating image information to be stored in an internal recording medium or an external recording medium;
reproducing, by a reproducer, the image information stored in the internal recording medium or the external recording medium;
executing, by processing circuitry, a face-recognizing process on the image information generated by the photographing sensor to detect a face;
registering, by processing circuitry, a person in the image information as a specific person, wherein a first person with a face is obtained by newly photographing the first person in a photographing mode and thereafter registered as a first specific person, wherein a second person with a face is obtained by newly photographing the second person in a photographing mode and thereafter registered as a second specific person;
firstly, selecting, by processing circuitry, image information which includes both the registered first specific person and the registered second specific person based on selection of thumbnail images being displayed simultaneously corresponding to each of the registered first specific person and the registered second specific person, the thumbnail images extracting and indicating face area of each of the registered first specific person and the registered second specific person,
secondly, selecting, by processing circuitry, the image information based on a predetermined condition from among the selected image information which includes both the registered first specific person and the registered second specific person, and
controlling, by processing circuitry, the reproducer to selectively and sequentially reproduce the image information selected based on the predetermined condition.
