My FanCam

Why It Exists

Users of flip-style Galaxy devices need effortless, high-quality selfie capture with automatic optimization and the best angle without manual adjustment.

How It Works

Galaxy My FanCam is Samsung's AI-powered camera feature that automatically detects and tracks faces and subjects for perfectly composed selfies and group photos. Using on-device NPU vision processing, the system identifies subjects, tracks movement, adjusts framing, applies beauty enhancements, and optimizes lighting in real-time. The feature includes timer-based group capture, motion tracking for active subjects, and multi-angle shot recommendations.

Everyday Use Cases

• Selfie capture
• Pose optimization
• Beauty enhancement
• Expression detection
• Timer optimization
• Dual-screen preview
• Automatic retouching

User Workflow

• User activates My FanCam mode
• AI detects the user's face and expressions
• System tracks subjects as they move
• Optimal framing and lighting are applied
• Photo is captured at the perfect moment

AI Processing Flow

The cover screen camera input is processed by on-device NPU vision models in real-time. Face detection uses neural networks trained on diverse demographics. Motion tracking uses predictive algorithms. Beauty enhancement applies natural-looking adjustments. Lighting optimization balances exposure and color temperature. All processing is on-device with no image upload.

Inputs / Outputs

Inputs:

• Camera sensor input
• Facial landmarks
