Scarlet, " little shaky when it was coming out" sounds like debris between the lens rings. Start by using a vacuum cleaner hose and see if you can get the lens somewhat cleaned. Check [http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html|on here] for some more ideas. If that does not work, you may consider replacing the lens. hope this helps, good luck.
