Video Controls

Auto Controls

The ELPH 530 HS has no manual controls in video mode, so it's all auto all the time. Scene modes and effects do work in video mode however.

Zoom

Optical zoom is available in video mode. It's much slower than in still mode, but the full range works.

Focus

Autofocus works fairly quickly on the ELPH 530 HS. It's completely hands off, so you'll have to trust the camera, but it works well.
