The seven mad gods are only mad because you didn’t read the manual or the help file regarding stills.
The stills are not zoomed in. The problem is that they are not zoomed out in the monitor window the way they are in the source window. Your pics are bigger than your frame size. Scale them down in the Motion effect.
Or, set the Project Settings (general tab) to automatically scale the clips to project dimensions when placed on the sequence. The Motion effect is still being used, but automatically.
