User level: Level 1 (4 points)my iphone camera apparently took a zoomed in shot within a picture. I literally have a box with a zoomed in subject at the top of the picture I was intending to capture. What is up with that? It has never happened before.

That little zoomed box is usually not the lens. Two things do this. Open the picture and swipe up. If it says Screenshot, you captured the Camera screen while the preview was zoomed, instead of taking a photo. If it is a real photo, go to Settings > Accessibility > Zoom and turn Zoom off. A zoom window left on can land in the shot. Then force-quit Camera and take a test picture at 1x. Also try with Settings > Camera > View Outside the Frame turned off. One frame like this is almost always a glitch or a screenshot, not a bad sensor.
