Cameras do not have DPI. Neither do monitors. Printers are the only device that makes use of DPI. DPI is dots (as in ink)-per-inch.
You can not shoot at 300 DPI or any DPI number. Pixels is all you have. There are no inches, so there can not be DPI. Image size is dimensioned in pixels. You can assign any DPI number you want in post which controls the inch size it will print on paper. Inches are on paper. There are no inches in the camera. The max image size for the SL2 is 6,000 x 4,000 pixels. It will always be 6,000 x 4,000.
If you are getting confused in post editing about changing DPI, do the changing of DPI and do it without resizing or resampling. You want to change the DPI while retaining the original pixel dimensions (the real digital resolution) of the photo.
OK, but note that any discussion of DPI is arguably a red herring in this thread. The OP's question referred only to PPI.
