Samsung Galaxy AI video tracker features, specifically the My FanCam tool introduced on the Galaxy Z Fold 8, allow users to automatically track and frame a moving subject in pre-recorded footage without manual panning, according to testing by Tom’s Guide writer Sanuj Bhatia.
How My FanCam Works on Galaxy AI Devices
According to testing published by Tom’s Guide, My FanCam eliminates the need to manually keep a moving subject framed while shooting video from a distance. After recording a clip through the standard Camera app, users open the Samsung Gallery app, tap the Galaxy AI icon, and select My FanCam. The AI scans the footage, detects individual people in the frame, and displays touch targets over each subject. Once a user taps a target and selects follow, the system generates a new video keeping that person centered throughout the clip.
Pro Tip: My FanCam is not limited to newly shot footage. Users can apply the AI tracking feature to older videos already stored in their device gallery.
Aspect Ratio Control and Processing Speeds
Before exporting the final video, the software lets users adjust the aspect ratio. Vertical 9:16 is selected by default, but users can also choose 1:1, 3:4, and other alternative formats, according to Tom’s Guide. The AI processing completes within a matter of seconds, though exact timing depends on the overall length of the recorded clip.
Hardware Limitations and Potential AI Enhancements
According to Tom’s Guide, the primary drawback of the current implementation is that My FanCam is exclusive to the Galaxy Z8 series. Because the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 lacks ultra-high-resolution sensors, tracking distant subjects can result in slightly pixelated footage once the software crops and zooms in. Reviewers suggest that integrating AI sharpening or detail enhancement could improve results, particularly when heavy cropping is applied.
Did You Know? Unlike Apple’s Center Stage feature, which operates during live video calls, Samsung’s My FanCam processes pre-recorded video files and can handle multiple distinct people within a single clip.
