On pg. 208 of his great book on the D750, David Busch suggests that 5:4 crop (4x5, 8x10 etc.) is as available as is DX crop.
On the following page in Fig.7.4, the crop modes are illustrated together with full frame; the crop modes being 1.5 DX, 1.2 and 5:4. Can someone please enlighten me on this? Maybe a firmware update? I would have use for 5:4 if I could get it ---in the camera.

There is no 5:4 crop on your camera.
You are probably better off shooting a slightly looser composition and cropping afterwards. This way you have the final choice on exactly what you want for your image when you are not in the middle of shooting. While it may not be an advantage/disadvantage for still subjects when you have the time to compose, it will save you from missing shots with active subjects. It is very easy to apply a 5:4 crop in post, not easy at all to fix an image where the main part of your subject is too close to an edge, etc.
