With the camera turned on in the mode to take pictures, press the top of the 4-way controller (lightning bolt) and you will see an icon come up on the LCD. Press the controller again until you see a lightning bolt with the barred circle around it (no flash). The flash options may not be available in some SCN (scene) modes, so use AUTO or P, if possible. Turning the flash off is a setting that is not remembered when the camera is turned off -- you have to set it each time you turn the camera on.

Press the Flash button (the top part of the circular "joystick" button, marked with a lightning bolt) to cycle through the options. You can choose from Auto with red-eye reduction, Auto, Flash on with red-eye reduction, Flash on, and Flash off. You want the lightning bolt in a circle with a slash through it.

Cannon A530 View screen has gone blank

Usually this is beacause you press the button "visible", all camera have this button to choose the visible model of the LED, you can turn off it to save power to take more photos by view sight from the small sight window above the screen.
