Sorry but I'm not clued up at all when it comes to megapixels and camera settings but I'm hoping to learn
.
I've just bought a new Casio Z1080 10MP camera and this is only the second digital camera I've had. My first was a basic Kodak point and shoot fixed at 3.5MP. The factory default setting for my new one is 10MP. I know more pixels means better quality but I have several options where I can change the image resolution to either 2MP, 3MP, 5MP, 16:9, 3:2 and 10MP.
I usually only take photos to print off 6"x4" pictures and according to my manual 3:2 matches the 'standard aspect ratio of print paper' so is it best set to this option or factory default of 10MP?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and apologies for sounding so green.
