It almost surely misread the format, and it needs a very specific 
algorithm to not do that, as the Fuji uses a non-rectilinear array 
for its sensor. In essence its sensor array is at 45 degrees, and in 
its own software it uses that to interpolate its files. That's why, 
with a 6mp sensor it produces 12mp files. I doubt that Ed Hamrick of 
Vuescan is privy to Fuji's algorithms, and thus is not able to 
extract the information Fuji intended to be available.
