Samsung Electronics Indonesia has integrated a new artificial intelligence tool called My FanCam into its latest foldable smartphone lineup, including the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, according to an announcement on July 23, 2026. The feature allows users to convert a single continuous video recording into a custom clip focused on a specific subject without needing to re-record.
How My FanCam Works on Galaxy Z Devices
Integrated directly into the Samsung Gallery application, My FanCam processes footage post-recording. According to Ilham Indrawan, Head of MX Product Marketing Senior Manager at Samsung Electronics Indonesia, users no longer need to manually track moving targets while capturing live events. “Instead of being confused, missing the moment, the moment that passes, we just record everything,” Indrawan said during a product demonstration in Jakarta on July 23, 2026. Once a user selects an object within the frame, Galaxy AI automatically tracks that subject’s movements, adjusts the video composition, and crops the footage to a chosen aspect ratio.
Pro Tip for Content Creators:
When capturing footage for My FanCam, record in the highest available resolution and frames per second (FPS). Because the AI crops the original video to maintain focus on distant subjects, utilizing maximum resolution preserves sharpness and clarity in the final social media upload.
Practical Applications for Dynamic Video Recording
Samsung positions the tool as a practical solution for filming busy environments where manual tracking is difficult. Indrawan noted that the software is particularly useful during concerts, athletic competitions, and performances filled with crowds. Instead of keeping a camera locked on a single person in real time, a user can record the entire scene and designate the primary subject afterward. The AI follows subjects whether they move left or right, creating the visual effect of a personal videographer, according to Samsung’s presentation.
Beyond large events, the feature adapts to everyday scenarios, such as tracking a running child or a family member performing on stage, provided the individual remains inside the boundaries of the original recording. When tested by Antara journalists in Jakarta, the system cropped the source footage to maintain subject isolation. The resulting file can then be saved in standard vertical or horizontal formats, such as 9:16, 1:1, or 3:4.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using My FanCam
Generating a dedicated subject video involves a straightforward workflow within the native Samsung ecosystem. First, record a scene using the standard camera app. Next, open the Samsung Gallery app and select the recorded video file. Tap the Galaxy AI icon to prompt a quick scan of the footage, which reveals the My FanCam option at the bottom of the screen. The software then identifies distinct people within the frame. Users tap the desired subject, pick an aspect ratio, and select “Follow” to preview the AI-generated composition before tapping “Save copy” to store the new file.
Did you know?
Unlike generative AI tools that create visual elements from text prompts—such as object removal features—My FanCam relies entirely on tracking and cropping real, recorded data, keeping the output faithful to the actual event.
Market Position and Software Availability
While customized video cropping and FanCam-style edits are not entirely new concepts in digital media, Samsung’s integration brings the capability natively into the smartphone’s default gallery suite. Indrawan and company representatives noted that the lightweight utility currently differentiates Samsung’s Galaxy Z series from competing hardware ecosystems like Google and Apple. The tool remains exclusive to the Galaxy Z Flip 8, Fold 8, and Fold 8 Ultra device families.
