Your camera almost certainly has a lens error, this is such a common fault that I hope you don't mind me pasting my stock generic answer below. No point in reinventing the wheel!

Stuck lenses are probably the most common reason that compact digital cameras get thrown away, but there's a fair chance of recovering use of your camera again

The fault is commonly caused by dirt or grit blocking the mechanism, or due to it having suffered a recent fall. Another common cause is that the camera was in a pocket or bag and the power button accidentally activated and tried to open the lens against resistance. The mechanism may have simply become dislodged or there may be parts which have broken.

If your camera is still under warranty and has definitely not been subject to misuse then contact the Canon service department in your country to find out about a free repair. If the warranty has expired though a professional repair will far exceed the cost of replacing your camera. You will therefore have nothing to lose by trying to fix this yourself.

Please click here and you will be taken to an excellent article provided by the Camera Repair website. For the most part, you'll be guided on how to physically manipulate your camera to try and clear the fault. Although the article mentions Canon a few times, the advice applies equally to all cameras with lens errors and is not model-specific.

Good luck, I hope you manage to use this information to fix your camera, or at least are able to use the information to help decide whether to buy another camera. If you do decide that you have to throw your camera away then don't forget to remove the memory card as it can be used in other devices. Please take a moment to rate the speedy and free answer I have provided for you and any testimonial which you might wish to add is always welcome.

Hiof course not. you have a problem camera. like the type of problem it could involve several circuit trouble shoot. First power control pcb (dc/dc convertor), on/off control switch fpc, and main pcb. I suggest you to send canonUSA or your local repair shop. ( That must be under warrenty, it is pretty new product) Both place would take time in those type of problem. CanonUSA 2 to 3 week usuallly, local 1 to many week depand on what they want to repair.

SOURCE: I HAVE AN A2200 DIGITAL

The A2200 is a piece of garbage. I bought it with the intent of capturing some quick video footage and within a week of purchase, this lens retract issue has happened. The cause was simply from the battery dying while it was recording video! Canon is telling me I now have to send it to a service center, and it potentially could cost as much as a NEW camera to fix. The issue is clearly not my fault, yet I have to pay for it? This is the last time I buy a Canon.

SOURCE: camera says lens error and shuts down immediately.

Here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try that may (or may not) correct it. They only seem to work for less than 40% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty (or repair cost approaches that of the camera), they're worth that try. Some of the later steps do involve some risk to the camera, so carefully weigh your options before deciding to conduct them:
