Samsung is sharing a few practical tips to help Galaxy Z Fold 8 users get better results from My FanCam, one of the more interesting video features introduced with the company’s latest foldable lineup.

How to get better My FanCam results

My FanCam uses on-device AI to identify and follow a selected person throughout a video. That makes it particularly useful for concert recordings, family events, school performances, sports footage, and other situations where several people appear in the same frame.

For the best results, Samsung recommends recording at a higher resolution and leaving some extra space around the subject. A slightly wider composition gives the feature more room to keep the selected person within the crop as they move.

The moment you choose for subject selection also matters. Picking a frame where the person is clearly visible, with minimal overlap from others, gives the AI a better starting point. Their face, upper body, or full body should ideally be visible.

One of the feature’s biggest advantages is that it doesn’t require you to record specifically for My FanCam. Existing videos can also be used, including older concert clips, travel memories, family recordings, and other footage.

That means users can concentrate on recording the overall event rather than constantly keeping one person centered. A tripod recording can even be turned into a personal highlight video afterward.

My FanCam also processes footage directly on the device, rather than relying on a separate server. Samsung has optimized the AI processing to balance tracking accuracy with processing time, heat, and battery consumption.

For Galaxy Z Fold 8 owners, the result is a simpler way to turn ordinary footage into a more focused video without manually tracking and cropping the subject frame by frame. These Samsung My FanCam tips should help users get more consistent results, especially with busy scenes and moving subjects.

Samsung has now officially confirmed a major feature update for the Galaxy S26 series. The update is available for users who are already part of the One UI 9 beta program. The rollout started on August 28. The new update brings several useful features to Galaxy S26 phones.

The highly anticipated new feature is My FanCam. It uses AI to help users record better videos. Users can choose a person in the video. The AI will try to keep that person in focus while recording.

My FanCam can also change the video size and shape for different social media platforms. This makes it easier to share videos online. My FanCam needs a Samsung Account to work. It may not work if there is no clear person or subject in the video.

Samsung is also improving Now Brief. This feature gives users useful information in one place. It shows information in cards. These cards can be changed based on the user’s daily routine, interests, and needs. Now Brief will also show security and privacy information. This can help users understand possible security risks. It can also tell users about steps they can take to keep their information safe.

Now Nudge is also getting improvements. It will provide better and smarter suggestions. These suggestions will depend on what users are doing. The aim is to help users complete everyday tasks more easily. Now Nudge works only with supported apps. The results of AI features may also be different depending on the video or situation.

Users who are already using the One UI 9 beta on the Galaxy S26 series will receive a notification when the update is available. They can download the update from their phone. Samsung says some features need a Samsung Account and an internet
t connection.

This new One UI 9 beta update makes the Galaxy S26 more useful. It adds new AI features and smarter tools to make daily phone use easier.

1. My FanCam
2. Super Steady with Horizontal Lock
3. With Gemini Omni
4. Now Nudge
5. Upgraded Smart Switch

Price (hiked)

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 FE is pricier than the Galaxy S25 FE. The price increase could have been severe due to the shortage of components. However, Samsung kept it restricted to $50 for the base variant of 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

Galaxy S26 FE starts at $700 in the US, shipping September 4.

Today, Samsung has launched its new Galaxy S26 FE smartphone. The new Fan Edition phone brings several exciting features for users who want a premium smartphone experience at an affordable price.

The Galaxy S26 FE moves away from isolated camera cutouts to a flush, unified camera island similar to core flagship models. Due to this change, it more look like latest flagship.

Camera
