Start with the FlexWindow, then try the camera tools that make the Galaxy Z Flip8 useful when it is partly folded. These five quick checks help you make the cover screen practical, capture hands-free photos, and understand the camera’s framing and stabilization options. Exact menus and availability can vary by region and model, so use the manual for your specific device.

1. Make the FlexWindow useful when the phone is closed

Set up the FlexWindow around what you want to see or do without opening the phone: notifications, quick information, and supported apps or actions. Samsung says the Flip8’s cover screen brings apps, insights, actions, and assistance to the outside display. Its Now Brief feature can surface personalized information based on schedules, routines, and interests. Which apps and features are available may depend on your market and software version. Samsung’s launch announcement describes the FlexWindow, while your local Samsung support site is the best place to find instructions for your model.

Samsung also provides a localized FlexWindow guide for China, covering functions, app customization, and notifications. Treat that guide as market-specific rather than a universal menu path; the labels and options on your phone may differ. Samsung China support

2. Try FlexCam on a stable surface

Partly fold the phone and place it on a stable surface to frame a selfie, group photo, or video without holding the device. Samsung calls this use of the folded form FlexCam. Its Canada support guide says you can raise your palm to start a capture countdown, or use voice commands if you have enabled them. Samsung Canada’s FlexCam guide explains the camera steps; some controls may differ on other regional versions.

3. Test Dual Preview and Auto Zoom

Show the subject a preview

With Dual Preview, the person in front of the camera can see a preview on the FlexWindow while the photographer composes the shot on the main screen. It is especially useful for checking a pose or group framing before taking the photo.

Let Auto Zoom adjust framing

During FlexCam recording, Auto Zoom can adjust the framing as people move. Try it in a short clip to see how it handles your scene; it offers automatic framing, while the camera’s standard view leaves more of the composition to you. Samsung describes both features in its Canada camera guide.

4. Check stabilization before recording while moving

Super Steady is intended to help reduce shake when you are recording in motion. Samsung also describes a Horizontal Lock option that can keep footage level by cropping the image, so stabilization involves a framing trade-off rather than a view with no crop. Samsung’s launch announcement specifies Horizontal Lock support on the wide and ultra-wide lenses, up to QHD resolution at up to 30 frames per second. Check the camera’s available settings on your device, since recording options can vary by model or software. Samsung Canada’s camera instructions; Samsung Mobile Press launch details
