Your camera cannont shoot at either 72 dpi or 300 dpi. It shoots at whatever resolution you have it set for. Dpi (dots per inch) is a print specification, denoting how large (or small) your pictures are printed.
The DSC-W100's highest resolution is 3264x2448. Printed at 72 dpi, it can generate a print bigger than 40x30 inches, albeit a bit grainy. Printed at 300 dpi, you can generate 10x8 inch prints.
Again, dpi is a measure of how you print pictures. It has no bearing on how you capture images with your camera.
SOURCE: Creating a 300 dpi x 300 dpi file
You need to be able to change the DPI setting in the image file. This can be done in most complete photo editors, though they tend to name the procedure in different ways. In Corel Photo-Paint, you would look for "Resample Image". In the open source photo editor Gimp, look for "Scale" under "Image".
In all such procedures, what you want is to set both the vertical and horizontal DPI values to 300, apply them, then save the image. Please do save it to a different filename, since you lose some quality of JPEG images every time they are saved.

Sounds like Photoshop's setting, or default setting, is to import picture at its maximum size. If you RESIZE pic on Photoshop, it shoud automatically increase DPI while reducing physical size.
The other thing to be aware, TZ3 defaults to a certain jpg compression. You can minimize compression of data with settings options on TZ3, but I doubt this has anything to do with your PhotoShop issue.
Also, in SIMPLE mode you can select a physical size for photo, even after pic is taken(resize), on camera.
Hopes this helps.

Hi!
If I remember it right, the resolution setting were under F button on the back panel, on the right from the Playback button.
Please, let me know if I'm right. :)

Sony DSC-W320, 14.1 megapixels.
The 72 dpi are set in properties of the image, once downloaded to the pc.
Thanks. Then, do you have any suggest?
Sorry, but your question currently makes no sense. Your camera will not have any dpi settings, these only come into play when printing an image and are nothing to do with camera resolution: printed large enough, even the highest resolution will be as low as 72dpi and printed small enough even the lowest resolution will come out at 300dpi. So to answer this you need to provide the following details:- 1. How many megapixels is your Sony DSC-W100 currently set to? 2. What size print are you trying to achieve? 3. What's the male and model of printer which you're using?
