The problem is most likely in the lens,such as a sticky aperture .

Squirt some WD-40 on the lens aperture blades.

Good luck.

Presumably you have no idea what a Dimage G530 is , or that's just a poor attempt at humour that two months to come up with ?

Either way , adding more oil to an aperture blade that's sticking typically because oil out of the grease used to lubricate a focus helicoid has migrated to the blades , is hardly likely to improve things .

Cleaning the blades in a way that leaves them dry is what's needed .

How would you suggest getting oil into a digital point and shoot camera ? presumably soak it in a jug full until the bubbles stop ?
