Default Raw Resolutions in D90
I was shotting raw lastnight and just realized that the resolutions is only 240dpi..
Can it be set on the cam to get 300dpi?

Camera raw is in MP. For example D90 is 12.3 MP.

You can change it within your editing program. DPI is display/printing resolution unit.

DPI really has no meaning here. The raw image is 4288 x 2848 pixels. If you set he print paramenter at 240 pixels per inch then you will get a print that is 17.9" by 11.9", if you set it at 300 you get 14.3" by 9.5" and if you set it to 100 then you get 42.9" by 24.5".

No. The DPI is set in your photo editing program, not in the camera.

How Can You Have "Dots Per Inch" if You Don't Have Inches?
