The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8, Z Fold8 Ultra and Z Flip8 introduced a diagnostic called My FanCam, which is besides featured connected the Galaxy S26 FE. The squad that developed it shared their inspirations, thoughts and goals for this feature.

Sharing instrumentality videos of K-pop performances has go a fashionable enactment among euphony fans – but until present they had to manually edit the video. My FanCam allows them to make a chopped of the video that tracks 1 idiosyncratic arsenic they determination crossed the signifier – each it takes is simply a azygous tap.
Object tracking isn’t new, but aged methods had their pitfalls – if the entity being tracked gets obscured (by, say, different radical connected the stage), the algorithm tin get confused. Samsung utilized an AI exemplary that recognizes individuals and locates them successful the framework – that allows My FanCam to reframe the video to support them successful the center.
How My FanCam works
“We focused connected reducing hold times portion editing. Users whitethorn privation to power betwixt radical successful radical videos, but reanalyzing the video each clip would mean waiting again. We designed My FanCam to analyse aggregate radical astatine once, letting users power betwixt subjects and instantly spot the results erstwhile the archetypal investigation is complete,” said Sunghwan Kim of the Multimedia Development Group astatine Samsung MX.
The app allows the idiosyncratic to take antithetic facet ratios for the last video – modular 16:9, vertical 9:16 and adjacent 1:1, which are suitable for sharing crossed antithetic societal media networks.
“Testing a ample scope of scenarios is important earlier rolling retired caller features. To assistance the improvement squad trial with a wide scope of scenarios, aggregate squad members helped with the process. Some brought successful aged videos from the assemblage days, specified arsenic creation nine videos. Others would bring a telephone and movie caller footage, specified arsenic climbing hobbies,” said Sherry Hong, besides of the Multimedia Development Group.
“The cardinal situation was processing AI workloads wholly on-device without a abstracted server. Longer videos necessitate much computation, truthful we had to see processing speed, powerfulness consumption, and vigor generation. Samsung Research optimized the AI exemplary to execute the required results with little computation, portion the MX Business streamlined the full process — from video decoding to information transportation and investigation — reducing computational load with minimal interaction connected performance,” added Kim.
The squad besides offers immoderate tips to assistance you get the champion results retired of My FanCam. You should take a precocious solution video mode since the app volition beryllium cropping successful to framework the chosen subject. For the aforesaid reason, you should framework your changeable somewhat wider than you would normally.
When picking a taxable to track, it’s champion to bash it successful a framework wherever they aren’t overlapped by others and their look is visible. You tin usage a tripod to get a unchangeable representation – but that’s for caller videos. You tin besides effort My FanCam with videos you recorded years ago, conscionable similar the squad did.
