The figures in the table show the relationship between digital camera and scanner resolution, and output
resolution. If this figure is 200 dpi or more, you will obtain a satisfactory print, and if it is 300 dpi or more,
your print will be at a high resolution. If for example, you scan 35 mm film and print it, if the scanner has
optical resolution of 3,200 dpi, the output will be good enough for viewing on paper up to A3 large size.
If you scan at the maximum value for output resolution, the volume of data will be unnecessarily big,
making it difficult to handle.
In case you feel a printed image with 300 dpi lacks detail, use an application such as Photoshop to convert
the resolution of the image data to 360 dpi, and then adjust the sharpness and reprint. You may see an
improvement of the detail in the result.
Even if the output resolution is the same, the detail that you can obtain will differ according to the size of
the CCD element of your digital camera or the film size.
