In a recording and reproducing apparatus and a recording and reproducing method for the recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing image information on a scene obtained through photographing, relative to a predetermined first recording medium and being capable of setting one or more chapters to each scene, a face recognizing process is executed for a photographed image based on the image information, an importance level of each chapter is set in accordance with a result of the face recognizing process for a very important person (VIP) set by a user, and each chapter having a relevant importance level among importance levels of respective chapters is selectively reproduced. A user can therefore find an object chapter and scene quickly and easily.

Recording and reproducing apparatus and method thereof

The objective of this invention is to provide an oily external composition for skin having an excellent rough skin recovering/preventing effect, and wherein powder is well dispersed in oil. An oily external composition for skin of this invention is characterized in that comprising a complex powder (the surface of lipophilic base powder is covered with zinc oxide) and an oil component, wherein said complex powder is dispersed in said oil component, and wherein zeta-potential of said lipophilic base powder is negative value at pH on skin. It is preferable that zeta-potential of said lipophilic base powder is &#x2212;10 mV or less at pH on skin. It is preferable that said lipophilic base powder is swelled in the condition of dispersing in oil. Above-mentioned external composition can be used as a rough skin recovering composition and a sensitive skin caring composition.

Oily skin preparation for external use

In order to make a hyperchromic portion of the skin, which has been caused by nevus, angioma, red face, spots, freckles, and the like, inconspicuous, a material having as a transmitted light component, a color gamut which is a complementary color for the skin color to be adjusted or in proximity to that complementary color is compounded in a skin-color adjusting composition. When this composition is applied on the hyperchromic portion of the skin, the hyperchromic portion naturally becomes inconspicuous without deteriorating the transparent feel of the skin. Also, in the colored titanium oxide coated mica is characterized that, as a skin-color adjusting composition, a fine particle of iron oxide having an average particle diameter of 60-150 nm is coated on the titanium oxide coated mica, so as not to be big the absorption of light by iron oxide on the surface and not to be weakened by the transmitted interference color.
