As far as I know, it is the first Sony camera to offer that power. User Box and the aspect ratio marker can even be used together if you want.

Our broadcast cameras(like my VariCam) and some cine cameras(like my F55) have the option to basically create a box of virtually any size and aspect ratio you want to overlay in the VF(and monitor out) in addition to the predefined markers available to you. So you could create your own custom frame markers. I used that option when we had to still shoot 16x9 and 4x3 simultaneously.

As mentioned earlier, introducing the idea of differing pixel aspect ratios results in meaning that there is yet another mathematical factor in determining the actual aspect ratio of the frame.
Last week I was working on a shoot with a couple of FX9's -- The production specified that they wanted the cameras set to 4096x2160. Interestingly enough the term "17x9" was never mentioned, though both "DCI 4k" and "C4k" terms did come up.
We needed to get a special dispensation to use an A7s III as a third camera because it doesn't record in that size. Where we really saw the difference was on the quad split monitors - where it was hard not to notice the difference in relative frame heights when the frames are right next to each other.
