It doesn't really matter what type of digital camera you have. The trick is, to actually learn how it works...and yes, it can be a bit daunting at first.
So, I think you need to learn about photography and digital cameras in general.
The A530 has an...
Auto mode...(the camera does it all for you, it chooses the best settings according to available light) and it also has a number of various Scene modes, which are self-explanatory.
P mode...the camera still selects shutter speed & aperture, but you can adjust settings such as ISO, white balance & exposure etc.
M mode...you can select your own shutter speed & aperture etc(you have complete control)
And...Always set your resolution (in the Menu) at the highest available (Superfine plus Large) and keep your ISO at a low number (80).
I have given you a few links that might help you understand more about photography and digital cameras (but you must make the effort to read them because that's how you will learn...and I suggest you thoroughly read your manual...and experiment and practice as much as you can with your camera, because that's the best way to learn.
For now though, I suggest you use Auto...and when you understand more, then try other settings.
Happy Shooting!

Geez, I don't know what you're complaining about. The only settings you can change are:
ISO, AF type, white balance, aperture, shutter speed, flash mode, exposure compensation, metering mode, quality level, and shooting mode.
And with the shooting modes, your only options are Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Special Scene (Foliage, Snow, Beach, Fireworks, Indoor, Kids & Pets, Night Snapshot, Color Accent, Color Swap), My Colors, Stitch Assist, and Movie
Okay... so the options are pretty overwhelming.
Your best bet is to leave everything on automatic, and only change settings when the camera can't cope with a specific situation. That should be almost never. And even then, you should go for one of the scene modes. The descriptions are pretty self-explanatory.
For the most part, the scene modes work as shortcuts to influence all of the other settings, most of all aperture + shutter speed + iso. You could change the underlying settings directly if you wanted, but the scene modes make life a lot easyer.
If you have specific problem areas with the A530, or if you want to know how to take manual control to achive a specific effect, just post a new question. The options really are too vast to explain everything in one answer.

to commence with you are able to in basic terms turn the mode dial to the golf eco-friendly container and shoot away like you'll with a level-and-shoot digicam. the in basic terms distinction is that you're going to wish to manually zoom the lens. attempt this for per week and get used to utilising the viewfinder and the more effective digicam. once you're used to vehicle mode, google "aperture", "shutter speed", and "ISO". study and skim and skim till you realize those products and how they influence publicity. Then placed your digicam in AV mode and mess round with different apertures. Then placed your digicam in television mode and mess round with different shutter speeds. yet another (truly cautioned) option is that you'll take a short image class. maximum digicam shops furnish a weekend class which will prepare you the basics of imagery besides as teach you techniques to apply your digicam.
