Thread: Feeling like an idiot

When I bought my Panasonic Lumix camera about a year ago, I set the picture size to 1280 x 960 pixels, and forgot all about it; recently I have been trying to take high quality pictures of my chair for the AWR competition, and was finding that, if the resolution was set to 300 dpi, the pictures were coming out too small.

I began to think the only solution to my problem would be to buy a 10 megapixel camera instead of my 5 megapixel one. I started looking at the Nikon D80, which looked very tempting. But then I remembered the nerd's golden rule - RTFM. OF course, I then discovered that I could set the picture size to a maximum of 2560 x 1920, although that would mean I could only get 51 photos on my 128 Mb memory card; this is far more than I usually want to get on it anyway. So, my problem is solved, and I do not have to spend $2000 on a flash new camera.

I am afraid Major must be shaking his head and rolling his eyes.

DUH.
