Unlike AI Eraser or Sketch to Image, My FanCam doesn’t invent new content. It acts as an AI cameraman
. It identifies a consistent subject within an existing video clip and crops the footage to follow that person, transforming a broader recording into an action-style video centered on a single subject.
How My FanCam Works
The workflow is simple. Users record a video, open it in the Samsung Gallery app, and tap the Galaxy AI icon to scan the footage. When My FanCam detects people in the frame, the option appears.
From there, users select which person to follow and choose a video ratio, like 9:16 for vertical content. The AI crops and stabilizes the footage to keep the chosen subject in frame. That’s it. No generation. No fabrication. Just intelligent editing of existing pixels.
According to CNET Senior Editor Mike Sorrentino, the feature performs light editing work
that gives users a closer look at their desired subject without synthesizing anything from scratch.
Why This Distinction Matters
Many AI features face scrutiny for creating images that appear realistic but are entirely fabricated. My FanCam sidesteps that problem entirely by working only with what’s already captured on video.
This represents a quiet but meaningful shift in how tech companies are thinking about AI. The demand for tools that enhance real content, rather than synthesize it, is growing. Consumers want AI that helps them, not AI that deceives.
Current Availability and Future Plans

My FanCam currently debuts exclusively on Samsung’s new foldable lineup. Samsung expects it to reach other phones supporting One UI 9 in the coming months, including the Galaxy S25 and S26 series.
What This Signals
Industry observers expect Google and Apple to develop similar features. The momentum is clear: consumers want AI that works with reality, not against it.
My FanCam highlights a pragmatic turn in consumer AI. It’s not flashy. It doesn’t generate controversy. It simply takes something people already do with third-party apps and makes it native, faster, and more reliable. That kind of quiet utility might be more valuable to consumers than the flashiest generative features.
