Default or Native Resolution?

Hello,
Does the Nikon d200 produce NEF files at a "default" or "native" resolution? (Not sure if I am using these terms correctly.) When I open my NEFs in Adobe Camera Raw, the resolution is always set to 240, when I assumed it would be 300. Is there a reason for this and may I safely simply change it to 300 in the Camera Raw dialog box without any negative effects?
I will post this also in the Nikon forum.
Thanks,
Patrick

There is nothing native about these numbers. A camera measures the picture size in pixels.

Only if you print the PPI number plays a role and you can decide what you think is the best value for your print/output process.
