Can someone please help me out.... I cannot understand why if in camera "options" I have it set to take the full 3.2mp, yet after taking the photo and checking its "properties" it's never more than 1mp in size. I am completely perplexed. I'd appreciate any help you all can offer. As a reference, my camera options are shown below. But despite this, the pictures are randomly saved as either 480x640 or 768x1024. Please help!!!
I have the camera set at:
Flash: off
Image Stab: On
White balance: Automatic
Picture size: 2048x1536
Picture quality: Superfine
Color effect: normal
Geotagging: disabled
Store pictures: on media card.

You may be confusing size of the file - mb megabits with - mp - mega pixels - how fine or clear the picture is. Two totally different things. On the details of a file it shows the mb or size of the file.
Snarfler: You were right. I just took two reference photos: One zoomed all the way out, and one zoomed in. The difference in mega pixels was evident. I guess I had been taking pictures with some amount of zoom baked in without even realizing it. I guess the trick is not to touch the screen when in Camera mode lest I accidently apply some zoom.
