Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension.
There are several things that you can do to try to correct it. These home fixes seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors. If the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try. If you can't fix the lens yourself or don't want to try you can also have it repaired online. See the "digital camera replacement parts" link below for a business where you can buy a lens or have them install it for you for reasonable prices.

∙ 14y agook, so if u mean its stuck half way, like when u turn it on and its getting into focus and stuff, then this is what i did. this seriously JUST happened to me and i was freaking out then i figured it out and decided to help someone else out with the same problem :). here is what u do... turn the camera on, and it should say something like "Zoom error". take the farthest part of the lens that is out (srry dont really know how to explain it) and kind of pull it out. turn the camera off and it should close properly. amazing, i figured this out on my own :) yay me:D lol.
