I don't believe you can change it.



The DPI setting is a rather abstract one. It doesn't change anything much. If the camera sets it to 72dpi you can still print at 300dpi and if it is set to 300 you can still display the images at 72.



The number of pixels in the image and the size it is printed or displayed at change the resolution (dpi). The number generated for the file is mostly irrelevant.



Why do you need to change it?How to change 72 dpi to 300 dpi in camera ?
You can't change it in the camera. The DPI setting in the EXIF header is completely meaningless and will not affect the image when viewed on a computer monitor. The only thing you should worry about is the pixel dimensions. DPI is a very misunderstood concept that even permeates the web authoring business.



The DPI number embedded in images from digital cameras is totally arbitrary. Each manufacturer will use a number that is pulled out of a hat. Take 72 dpi, this is a number from the late 1980s which is the dot pitch of a Mac computer monitor. Computer monitors are generally 85 to 105 dpi these days.



If you prepare images for professional printing, like books and posters, you will need to deal with DPI. Until then, don't worry about it. If you print from Photoshop, then you will need to learn about DPI and the it's relation to printed image size.



If you really want to change the DPI setting in your photos, you can do this with ExifTool. It will modify the EXIF header. It will not change your image.
