Unless I'm remembering wrong, I believe I was on a shoot with the Sony Venice that could do the same.

I am not an expert on the Venice but I think you have to use a function called "User Frame", which is similar to "User Box" on the other cameras. Having separate controls just for a custom aspect ratio marker on the FX6 is a new function . . . I think.

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.
