Your camera is still under warranty, and what you are seeing is a generic message that means there is an error with the lens operation. Please call Canon and have them fix it for you for free!
For others who's cameras are not under warranty, you will need to have your lens repaired or replaced if you get the error messages mentioned above.
A couple solutions would be to either buy a defective camera online and
make one good camera from the two if you can do that sort of thing
yourself, or secondly have it repaired by somebody.
Don't bother
trying to send the camera to Canon (though you can call them and verify
what I'm about to say) because they will want $150+ to do the repair
for you. Parts are not cheap to buy from them.
I know of
one very affordable digital camera repair business... because I own it.

Don't play around with that lens, you can do more damage to the camera and focus with some of the stuff people tell you to try. Your camera just needs to be serviced and you'll be working great again.

They have your exact SD850 Lens Error, Restart Camera problem on their site. Good luck, they're the place for help with a powershot, best of luck with it.
This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html
Take a look at the suggestions at the top of page 122 of the Advanced Camera User Guide. The suggestion is that the cause may have been that the camera was still on when the memory card/battery cover was opened. Try closing the cover and then turning the camera off and then on again. Hope this helps.
There could be a number of reasons for the lens error. ie. . sand in camera, impact damage etc. Typically the lens can be dissasembled and repaired by a competent camera repair technician. If you are certain that you did not damage the camera in any way I would send it back to canon for a warranty repair. If you however think you could have damaged it you are probably looking at around $100 to repair the camera. Hope this helps!
what you are seeing is a generic message that means there is
some sort of problem with the lens, it could happen in many different
ways such as sand or dirt in the lens gears.
If your camera is less than a year old, please call Canon and have them fix it under warranty!
If your camera is more than a year old and out of warranty, a couple solutions would be to either buy a defective camera online and
make one good camera from the two if you can do that sort of thing
yourself, or secondly have it repaired by somebody.

Defective mechanism, a stucked mechanism is present. camcorder are smart it can detects error and shuts down itself for safety. earlier models dominoes the defect if the user is not quick enough to react when something goes wrong with the camera. You need professional service to fix it.
