It's easy, while your camerta is in record position. press the menu key, then look for the "resolution" using the omni key (up/down) then select the desire resolution uisng the omni key (left/right) press the menu again then the setting is save.

yeah, I know this, but when I view the pictures in Photoshop, they all turn out to be 72 dpi (dot per inch) that's for JPEG. while for RAW, it will be 180 dpi.
I was wondering if I can increase the dpi for the same resolution dimensions???
Thx...

I know that you can only change the pixel but not the dpi on the camera.

Hi,
You are confusing two concept.
The resolution of a digital picture is always the same, for a certain size.
So let's say you take a picture at 1280 * 1024. That is, there will be 1280 pixels by 1024 pixels. But pixels are just informations, they have no size! DPI is a measure of how many pixels per inch are used. On a standard CRT monitor (computer monitor) the max resolution is 72 dpi (dots per inch).
That's why a picture on your computer screen at 72 DPI is MUCH bigger then the same picture printed at 300 DPI for exemple. They both have he same resolution, but it is more condensed on the print.
Hope it helps you a bit!
Here is an excellent link which explains it better then I do...
