An optical disc recording and reproducing apparatus are provided in which even if a focusing error signal fluctuates suddenly by surface deflection or an obstacle such as scratch or dust on the surface of an optical disc, an effective recording laser power does not decrease but proper recording, erasure, and reproduction can be executed. An ordinary laser power for recording and a laser power for defocus, that is, a laser power larger than the ordinary recording laser power by a predetermined magnification are preset into a laser driver. In the normal case where a focusing error lies within a predetermined range, the former laser power is used. When the focusing error exceeds the predetermined range and the effective laser power is decreased by the defocus, the latter laser power is used.
