Hardware \ picture resolution
As stated in the specifications on the packaging, two different resolutions are
applicable for this camera, i.e. picture resolution and hardware (sensor) resolution.
As is common in the digital camera world, pictures taken can be saved in a higher
resolution than the available image sensor resolution. This higher resolution is called
picture resolution. The photograph is made sharper as a result of a complex graphic
calculation. The highest attainable resolution is, therefore, always higher than the
sensor resolution.
