Canon PowerShot A530
P-ID:3126  PAL
 
Firmware Ver GM1.00A
No error
Dec 14 2005   09:32:59

pressing DISP button again results in:

Canon PowerShot A530
P-ID:3126  PAL

Adj Ver.002.004

For Developers

The platform ID (P-ID) of the A530 is 3126 (Platform codes for other models can be looked up under P-ID).

With respect to the platform id, the A530 fits in between the A540 and the A710, so possibly it is similar to those firmwares. (Firmware is very similar to A700)

Firmware flash

0xff800000: firmware flash data (probably)
0xffc00000: mirror copy of firmware flash? (to be determined)

LED addresses

0xc0220080: 0x46 enables orange focus assist LED, 0x44 disables it
0xc0220084: 0x46 enables blue print LED, 0x44 disables it
