The 640 x 480 pixels - 1024 x 768 pixels - 1600 x 1200 pixels - 2272 x 1704 pixels settings are the total number of pixels in the image. The dpi value is the number of pixels per inch. If you need an image to be 4" x 6" at 300 dpi, it needs a total of at least 1200 x 1800.

"dpi" - dots per inch.

"number of pixels" - number of dots.

The term "dots-per-inch" usually applies to output devices like video monitors or printers, not digital cameras.

A "dot" generally corresponds to a "pixel".

You can use an application like Photoshop to change the DPI and dimensions of your image.
