get rid of red box?

I'm getting this strange red box on the playback screen in Final Cut pro. I've never had this before. The program is still functioning thus far however it show up on any video's im working on. It's simply just getting very annoying. Since I am not a "pro" by any means I am hoping it is some button I pressed or something. Please advise if you have any knowledge on this matter.

Final Cut Pro X, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

The red box means you're zoomed-in.

Select the preview window and press Shift+Z

Thanks - the red box is there for a purpose. It's extremely useful if you're zoomed right into the preview window because it indicates where you are - and if you mouse over it, the cursor turns into a hand, enabling you to drag the red box to where you want to be in the image.
