My fuji s7000 creates 12mp raw files from 6mp sensor. This is default and cannot be changed. When using photoshop cs to open raw image, by default it gives me a 6mp image size, I have to choose the 12mp size (indicated by a + sign). Is the photoshop software somehow bypassing the fuji interpolation and giving me the original 6mp raw image??
The S7000 has a 6 million dual ccd sensor. That means there are two sensor elements, a small one and a big one, for each pixel.
The fuji raw file contains both pixels, PS CS combines both values into one.
Transferring the Fuji pixels into a usual itmap is not so simple as the sensor element pattern is not a standard rectangular system with color ilters in a Bayer pattern but big and small sensor elements interleavd in a octogon pattern.
