GoKawiilSamsung's My FanCam lets users spotlight one person after recording
Samsung has introduced My FanCam, a Galaxy AI feature that lets users crop and follow a specific person in a video after it's already been recorded, rather than adjusting the frame live like Auto framing does. Because it works after the fact, users are advised to shoot wider scenes so the AI has more room to track and reposition the subject.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This shifts creative control to the editing stage, letting people capture group events like performances or games in full and decide later who to highlight, without fumbling with the camera in real time. However, the feature only works with what was originally captured and can't track someone who moves out of frame or isn't clearly recognized, so shooting technique still matters.
- My FanCam reframes footage after recording, unlike Auto framing which adjusts live.
- Wider initial shots give the AI more room to track and crop a chosen subject.
- The feature can't recover footage outside the original frame and isn't guaranteed to track accurately.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra — My FanCam is a Galaxy AI trick, so it makes sense to run it on Samsung's flagship. The S25 Ultra's wide-angle capture gives the AI plenty of surrounding image to crop into when you pick your main character after the fact, which is exactly what the feature needs. It's a natural fit for filming recitals, games and group dances first and editing later.
