The reticle is the selection indicator when capturing. There are four styles:

Style	Description

Glass	Frosted blur with subtle border — marked “Glass may impact capture performance”, since it blurs the screen on every frame
Rainbow	Animated rainbow sweep around the outside of the selection

Preview

The setting shows a live preview tile for each style — hover one to see it in motion.

Preview folder corner

Preview capture position chooses which screen corner the preview folder appears in: Bottom Left (default) or Bottom Right.
