1. A recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing image information, comprising:
a photographing sensor configured to photograph an object and generate image information to be stored in an internal recording medium or an external recording medium;
a reproducer configured to reproduce the image information stored in the internal recording medium or the external recording medium;
processing circuitry configured to:
execute a face-recognizing process on the image information generated by the photographing sensor to detect a face;
register 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, and 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 pick out 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 pick out the image information based on a predetermined condition from among the picked-out image information which includes both the registered first specific person and the registered second specific person, and
control the reproducer to selectively and sequentially reproduce the image information picked out based on the predetermined condition.
