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. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...
Also you can try twisting the camera lens clockwise gently and it will go down. Do not push it down or else you will break it. Then try turning it on. It might work.
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. See the below related link "Fixing a Lens Error on a Digital Camera":
You didn't say what make camera you are asking about. "IS" is used by some manufacturers (Canon, for example) to indicate a lens with built-in image stabilization, which lets you shoot handheld for longer exposures in moderate to low light.
I have a Canon Ixus 400 and have been using a 1GB Integral memory card on it for years - works absolutely fine!
== == You don't say what kind of camera, so here's a few guesses. Based on your comment, there cannot be anything wrong with the lens. Perhaps you need eyeglasses (or updated vision correction) or a diopter for your view finder, or the viewing system of your camera needs cleaning. These would explain why things look blurry while viewing, but turn out OK. Did you drop the camera recently? If this is a single-lens reflex something in the viewing system--either the focusing screen or the mirror--could have gotten knocked out of alignment.
You say "Break a lens."
A still camera is "un appareil photo" (masc.), a video camera is "une caméra" (fem.) in French.
The Grainy look of the picture is due to the setting called ISO (it's too high, just lower it and it should improve). If there is a lens error then I would have to say...don't jam or push the lens in. The lens turns like a screw so if you jam or push the lens you could ruin the threads within. Most times you would have to take the camera apart and clean it or set it back on it's track. I once read, try banging it on your palm when powered off.
There is not a specific cleanser that you need to use on your sony camera lens. You can use any that is made to clean camera lens' As long as they say that they are camera lens safe and that is what they were made for then you can use it!

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.
have you tried plugging it in to your camera/laptop etc?
A zoom lens with a big range, from slightly wide-angle to long telephoto. The 20 measures the range, some lenses are not so strong, say 10x.
If there's no difference between an iPad camera lens and a normal camera lens then there are several ways to clean it. I would say the cheapest is to use a soft cloth (preferably a glasses cloth, that is used to clean a pair of glasses). Make sure it's not, for example, paper towel because anything rough will scratch your camera lens instead.
The 1984 Canon FTb alone, in working condition is worth around $15-$30. With a standard 50mm. lens the camera is worth about $50. Needles to say, having a more expensive and higher quality lens will add to the camera's overall value. However, being outdated, there is little demand for this camera and other cameras from its era.
A single lens reflex (SLR) is a camera that uses the same set of lenses to both focus the image on the CCD (digital) and enable the photographer to frame the picture. That is to say, when you look through the viewfinder of a DSLR you are looking directly at the object through the main lens. You are not looking at the digitally re-created picture of the object or through some other lens that is off-center of the main lens. A point-and-shoot camera will have some other mechanism for framing the picture.
The students who were petrified only say the repletion of the basilisk or through the lens of a camera.
Too many errors possible to say. Please elaborate.
There might be some kind of error launching the game. It depends on what the error message is. Next time please include the message so that you can actually get an answer which may fix the problem.
Well, if you say sausage king and bow three times, that's usually how I make the watermelon seeds disappear.
