This is mainly relevant to WMTS/xyz and other tiled images based (online) data 
sources (for what I know).

Because those tiles actually are server side cached, they have off course one 
true resolution: in which a 256x256px tile is shown on a 256x256px area of the 
mapcanvas.

When you load such layers in QGIS, QGIS can rescale those tiles, they will be 
rescaled then, often not making the image prettier.

The idea of the native resolution is for what I know: select the tiled layer, 
the select the "Zoom to native resolution (100%)" and then QGIS will switch to 
one of the (native) zoom level scales of the tiled layer.
It more or less works the same as with the Tile Slider.

Maybe (others plz confirm) this also works this way for raster images like 
geotiffs...

Hope this helps,

Regards,
