I saw the advantage of square mode, in using the full image circle of APS-C lenses, without the need of going to FF and cropping in post processing. As such the file size would increase w.r.t. APS-C mode. If it is not like that, I will be disappointed.

FWIW. the square crop mode is now in place, which I guess would save a
small amount of memory if shooting in raw and you want square images.

Does it really record fewer pixels? Or just add a cropping
specification to the raw file?

At the very least the files are smaller, though not much:

I guess it might be useful with certain aps lenses that just vignette a small amount in the corners.
