How to capture whole screen shown by camera on default 4:3

When I am taking 4:3 photo I can see whole screen but only portion of it is taken. When I switch to 16:9 the camera is zoomed in.

How can I capture original 16:9 shown when taking 4:3 without the zoom in?

Is it possible to zoom in and out while using iPhone as a camera? Has anyone used their iPhone as a camera connected to Quick Time player to record videos? I am doing this and it's working well. The only thing I can't figure out (it may not be possible) is to cause the iPhone camera to zoom in and out. Any ideas? The zoom ratio seems to be fixed but I feel it should be possible for the phone camera to zoom in and out. Just not sure if a ways has been an opened up for users to do this. Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.

If you zoom in and capture a dark place with iPhone 14pro, the picture will be saved strangely. When zooming in and capturing on iPhone 14pro (videoMaxZoomFactor), the shooting screen is weird if the screen brightness is low. If you lower the shutter speed and ISO and take a picture of the dark part, the left part is saved, not the part shown on the screen. Does anyone know why?

I figured it out. The central part of the screen, which is captured, is recorded by different camera then extended top and bottom parts. You can use the other camera by tapping 0,5 zoom. Then the top and bottom sections turn black.
