Anyone understand what technology can do this?

"The X100S uses a Lens Modulation Optimiser to reduce optical effects such as lens diffraction, which occurs when light passes through a lens. Even when stopped down to f/16, the X100S retains sharpness and texture in the smallest details, demonstrating the extent of the sensor and lens combination’s capabilities, perfectly."

Deconvolution. The marketing droids have probably exaggerated the facts a little but deconvolution algorithms tuned to the known characteristics of a specific lens can be almost miraculous in recovering detail apparently lost by diffraction.
