Galaxy S21

Something weird has been going on with my phone's camera recording for the past couple of months. When I go to a horse show and my husband uses my phone (S21 FE) to record my rides, he zooms in and out and keeps me and my horse in the center of the frame the entire time. But once the recording has finished and we play it back, I am out of frame or being cut off on the side instead of being in the center! He is definitely keeping me in the center while recording, as we both have tested this several times. But after recording, every time instead of being centered, I am way off to the left or right of the frame, sometimes with half of my horse and I cut off completely! I have no idea when this started because I only go to a show every couple of months but it happened at my last show a few weeks ago and again this weekend. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you resolve it? I am up to date on all updates for my phone as of today (11/24/25).

Here is a link to one of the videos so you can see what I am referring to. While recording, he kept us totally centered in the middle of the frame, but as you can see, once the video finished recording and we went to play it back, that is not at all how it actually recorded it! Half the video, my horse and I are way out of frame. We have tested this several times, so it wasn't just a fluke either. And his phone, a different Samsung model, does not do this - his works perfectly! His phone just doesn't take as high quality videos as mine so I would like to be able to use mine instead, if I can get this issue resolved.
