Shooting raw in 1:1 square format

[marte]

I have a question that hopefully somebody can answer.  When I shoot in the square format, 1:1 I can only shoot raw if I shoot raw + fine, or raw + normal, etc.  I cannot shoot square and "only" raw.  Is this an oddity of the Fuji XT1 or is it operator error?  Any thoughts?

In RAW format always the entire sensor information in the 3:2 format is memorized. Only JPG's will be stored in 16:9 or 1:1 format and in different film simulations. (Recalculated by the camera RAW/JPG converter)

Neither. It's as it is supposed to be. Of course, shooting RAW-only is not recommended, anyway. See tip 26 (Always shoot FINE+RAW) in my X-T1 book for at least seven reasons why.
