    To make life easier – open blender, chose corner you like and press CTRL+ALT +0 on numpad
    Does literally the same

    – To increase camera area in viewport and reduce the side grey area.
    (Without Locking the camera to View., )
    Go to Camera View -> Select Camera -> Ctrl/CMD + Middle Mouse Drag. (to increase camera view, earlier there is a huge border can the camera viewport view is small.)
    Thanks, It was helpful.
