GoKawiilTL;DR Samsung’s latest foldables have a new My FanCam feature that lets you reframe a video around a chosen subject after you’ve already recorded it.
Galaxy AI automatically detects people in the scene, allowing you to crop the footage into multiple aspect ratios and have the selected subject tracked throughout the video.
The resulting video isn’t the sharpest, but it’s more than good enough for quickly creating social media posts.
Samsung’s latest foldables are packed with new AI features, but one of the most interesting additions isn’t about writing emails or editing photos. Instead, it’s designed to solve a problem almost everyone has run into after recording a video.

Normally, you’d be stuck with the original video unless you were willing to manually crop and edit it yourself.
Samsung’s new “My FanCam” feature, available on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, aims to do that work for you.

From there, you simply tap the person you’d like the video to follow.
