Megapixels on camera needs to be reset?

My husband was messing with the settings on my camera and somehow changed the megapixels settings????? I went to develop a normal 4x6 picture and it said the megapixels were too small to develop the picture. I printed it anyway and it came out fuzzy

Check the sizes and quality pressing the FUNC button while in shooting mode. The left side options on your screen, at the left bottom corner will display the size and compression for the images, and select the desired size. See the manual for the correct size which corresponds to proper printing size. I suggest you to use always the maximum size for the S3: 6MP and compression at superfine, no matter what the size of your prints will be. Always check your SD card. A good practice is to carry a second SD card. 1 MB is OK if you don't use the camera for videos.

Is a good practice also to check always some basic settings prior to use the camera.

You can check the user manual to change again the resolution settings, or just reset the camera to the factory settings through the menu settings (last and bottom setting option).
