I have a Fuji Finepix AX200 how do I take a 300 dpi photo and what is the setting

DPI (dots per inch) is an output setting and is irrelevant as far as the camera is concerned.

Imagine you're taking a picture that's 2000 by 3000 pixels. At the time you take the picture, do you care how big you print it? When you get home and make a 4x6 print, you're printing at 500 dpi. If you make a 8x12 print, you're printing at 250 dpi. Either way, you're printing the exact same picture as taken by the camera. Since the camera doesn't know how big a print you're going to make, it simply puts in a default value for the dpi.

The S2980HD won't let you set the resolution that low. You can use any photo editing program on a computer to down-rez your photos.

Dots per inch is an output specification, meaningful only when printing or displaying a photograph. You can print the same photograph in different sizes by changing the DPI setting, but it's still the same photograph as far as the camera is concerned. The camera offers no way to change this setting. You control it in the printing program when you print it.

No. DPI (dots per inch) only has meaning when you output a photo. It can control how large a print you make. A 4x6 print will have more DPI than an 8x10 print made from the same photo, since they both have the same number of dots but different numbers on inches.
You control the DPI when selecting the size of the print, not when you take the photo.

This is an old posting but let me add my words here.
The bigger the recorded pixels the better the print quality becomes small numbers will be able to record more pictures to a memory card but the quality may only be good enough for internet use.

The picture Quality on your camera is retained even when you shut the camera off.
I'm including two diagrams the second one is pretty impressive and I think will make a print in the 20x24 inch range
Set one



Set two

3264x2448 producing a 10x12 double the size on a Canon, Fuji or Nordica print lab processing lab will produce a print 20x24.

Hope this was a help

increase in dpi will not increase the resolution. dpi = dots per inch for example you have a res of 1024x768 at 72dpi you get a printed image of 14.2x10.6 inch at 300dpi you get a printed image of 3.4x2.5 inch
only thing possible is to interpolate the image. but thats **** in my opinion.

A couple of things - I don't think you mean 500 megapixels (that is a lot!) but I assume you mean you expected a high resolution image. You may have it! The dpi setting is largely irrelevant (for photographers) as it simply relates number of pixels to a (notional) print size. Thus an image that is 3000 pixels wide (say) would print out to 10 inches at 300 dpi (3000/300) or 40 inches (approx) at 72 dpi (3000/72). the image has the same information /resolution - it's just "spread" further on the larger print. You can easily change the nominal dpi in e.g. Photshop Elements but it won't affect your image quality.
If however you are getting low resolution images when setting the camera differently that's something different. I would need extra info to help there but pssibly check if the camera was set to RAW and maybe you were looking at the (small) JPEG usually saved with it?

go into memory on menu and choose change memory settings from internal to card

It does not work like this.

You can select the quality of the pictures (pixels) with the "F" key.
What you are talking about is "dots per inch", and that has to do with your printer.................,
where you can increase the dpi. 300dpi is not high quality at all !

reset your camers settings.
