Users of the Samsung Galaxy Z series devices.
This feature bridges the gap between smartphone video and professional cinematography by using AI to replicate complex optical behaviors like variable bokeh and depth-based blurring, providing users with greater creative control in post-production.
Full Fact Overview
The Galaxy Z series introduces two primary camera features: My FanCam, which enables users to isolate and focus edits on a specific person, and an upgraded Portrait Video mode. The Portrait Video mode utilizes AI-powered optical analysis to simulate the depth-of-field and bokeh characteristics of professional large-aperture lenses. Unlike previous blur implementations that simply blended colors, this system calculates subject-to-background distance to dynamically adjust blur intensity and bokeh shape. Users can now manually adjust the blur intensity on a scale of 0 to 7 and change the focal point after the video has been recorded.
