Hey, is there a way one can disable outside the frame preview on iPhone 11? I had the option turned off in the setting yet I still see stuff that won't be captured and to me it's kinda distracting. Why is it there when the phone won't capture any extra data outside the frame?

I don't think that's what outside the frame means, it means outside the entire viewing area of the screen not just that box.
 
If /capture outside the frame/ setting is off and you take a photo you only get what you see in the fully visible 4:3 rectangle. So I don't get why does it show me these parts marked with red arrows? What's the purpose?
 
It's to show you the additional content you could capture if you switched to the ultrawide lens
 
Thanks @MarkX but I have that turned off already. I'm looking for a way to disable that over-capture preview marked with red arrows in my original post.
 
Are you sure about that? The ultra wide gives a much larger view than you get in the “extra” screen image.

It also blacks out sometimes, even when nothing obstructs the ultra wide lens so I also don't think it's to show what the wider lens can capture. To me it looks like it's there to show that /capture outside the frame/ WILL kick in but in this case - having it turned off - it makes no sense.

Also as @StumpyBloke mentioned, when turned on, it doesn't show you exactly what /capture outside the frame/ will grab when it's on. Sometimes it will capture less, sometimes more...

I always appreciate upgrades to the camera, but... it's a mess. Additionally:

- lack of knowing when deep fusion is on
- having to choose between deep fusion and capture-outside-the-frame
- no quick switch between those two modes, you have to go through settings
- no nightmode for 0.5x and 2x
- when object is close at 2x it switches to 1x with digital zoom without telling us
- quick video isn't 16:9

I only upgraded from XS for the camera and it feels like android-level, half-baked product, surely not a PRO...
