Canon makes an affordable, high-quality 5.0 megapixel digital camera a reality with the PowerShot A530. Fast, powerful, and impressively compact, the A530 delivers beautiful images and high performance. Best of all, this camera retains all the easy-to-use accessibility that has made the PowerShot A Series so popular.

This camera is equipped with an approximately 5.0 million camera effective pixel 1/2.5-inch Charge Coupled Device (CCD). Also, with DIGIC II, higher resolution and high-speed processing were achieved and the startup time and response time were shortened. This camera is equipped with the 4x optical zoom lens, which covers a 35mm film equivalent focal length ranging from 35 mm (Wide Angle) to 140 mm (Telephoto) and an f/2.6 (Wide Angle) - f/5.5 (Telephoto) aperture.

PowerShot A530 succeeds the basic shooting functions of the PowerShot A510 and has additional or more advanced functions as well except omitting Tv (Shutter-Priority AE) and Av (Aperture-Priority AE) in the shooting mode.

The recording pixels now include a "Widescreen" feature that has the same aspect ratio as so-called 16:9 widescreen TVs for shooting wide images. Adding ISO [800] has resulted in a faster shutter speed even when shooting in dark environments. The Color Accent mode and Color Swap mode that transform colors when shooting have been added to the Special Scene mode. The new "My Colors" in the FUNC. menu is used to change the look and feel of the pictures when shooting. With the newly added "Standard", "Compact", "Color Accent" and "Color Swap" in the movie mode, it is easier to select modes to meet the purpose. In the Standard mode, digital zoom while recording movies is available.

	DPower-up Your Images With 5.0 megapixels, your images will resonate with rich depth and detail, and even enlargements will be clear and sharp. The PowerShot A530 is equipped with a 4x optical zoom lens to let you capture everything from landscapes to snapshots with the brightness and clarity genuine Canon optics are famous for. The camera's 1.8 inch LCD screen gives you an excellent view, both for shooting and reviewing your images.
	Advanced Imaging Technology Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor is designed to improve processing speed and image quality, so DIGIC II provides markedly faster startup, autofocus and playback, plus it assures that every image is more colorfully vibrant.
	Capture Every Detail Advanced engineering ensures that your extreme close-ups will maintain the same high level of sharpness, detail and color fidelity that you see in your standard shots. You also have other shooting modes to choose from, including Special Scene mode, which gives you breathtaking pictures even when shooting conditions are tough.
	Advanced Capabilities Add Value The PowerShot A530 is equipped with many of the same advanced features found on Canon's higher-end models. The camera has an ISO range of 64-400, ensuring high-quality images in a variety of lighting situations. The A530 also features a Widescreen resolution option, creating images and movies that are ideal for viewing on widescreen TVs and computer monitors.
	Print and Share The A530's Print/Share Button makes direct printing easier than ever. Simply connect the A530 to a Canon Direct Photo Printer or PictBridge supported printer, press the Print/Share Button and print! Also use the Print/Share Button to transfer images directly to a computer (Windows®).
	Superior Color Reproduction. This camera employs approx. 5.0 million camera effective pixels (1/2.5-inch CCD with a total of approx. 5.3 million pixels), making it possible to take pictures with up to a maximum of 2592 x 1944 recording pixels. This camera also uses a primary color filter for superior color reproduction.
