Good morning;  

     Sorry to hear about your camera.  This does seem to happen.  

     The best thing now is to find a local camera repair technician who can look at your camera.  From your description, it sounds like something has happened in the lens.  It could be something as simple as a break in the power lead out to the lens focusing system.  Who knows yet?  

     Be prepared to hear that the price for repair could be well over $ 100.  Many of these cameras have reached the point where it seems easier to replace than repair.  Sorry about that.  It seems to be a facet of American Society now.  

          Enjoy;
