I assume the interpolation done in-camera is on the RAW data from the r-g-b pixels of the CCD. In the case of the Fuji camera this is a Fuji "Super CCD" with pixels arranged in a hexagonal pattern, rather than the standard bayer pattern of conventional CCDs and CMOS sensors. I'm not aware of any computer software that can work on this data directly, hence it makes sense to do this in-camera. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
