I typically will switch to jpeg+raw if I anticipate I might want have more to work with for pp, usually trips and things of that nature, but for snapshots around the house I've been seeing the camera for jpeg only, I don't need a raw file of a garden trellis I built and took a picture of to show my brother, for example. I haven't tried it yet but when set to jpeg+raw will the camera capture the full 3:2 shot for the raw even if set on the square format?

As far frame aspects, I can't understand the omission of 4:3 (a classic ratio for decades) and yet the inclusion of 16:9, which I just can't warm up to at all.

RAW is not cropped in JPEG + RAW.  The other thing you will notice is the RAW usually needs some exposure adjustment to match the JPEG, it will probably be darker.

I shoot square a lot, but just crop in post.
