For a long time there has been a gr8 hack for Canon Digital Cameras Known as CHDK (Canon Hack Development Kit) which enables Point and shoot cameras such as A530 to do exceptional things. i.e shooting in RAW, to run scripts to automate process . Motion Detection and many other stuff. that to without permanently changing the firmware. The Firmware update resides on the memory card and loads manually. So we can revert to the original firmware anytime we want. So all the enthusiast give it try.
