    The white arrow points to the currently selected unit when it is off-screen.

    As far as I know you can't switch it off. However, if you press ENTER, currently selected units are deselected, so you won't get the white arrow and you also won't have any units with green markers around their feet.

    With a bit of judicious photo-shopping you can usually eliminate white arrows, but remembering to deselect before taking your screen-shot is the best solution.

    Yeah, deselecting is probably your most easiest and convenient option.
