The resolution of the camera is measured in pixels and refers to the number of pixels that the camera sensor can capture and display in an image. It is typically expressed in terms of megapixels, which equals one million pixels. A higher resolution camera will have more megapixels, resulting in greater detail and clarity in images. For example, a camera with a resolution of 12 megapixels will capture images with 12 million individual pixels. This high resolution allows for sharp, clear images with fine details that can be enlarged without losing quality.
