In Canon cameras, the inside is designed so the mechanics of the flash are right next to the mechanics of the lens. This is also the same in Sony and Nikon lenses. What I think is wrong is that the mechanics of the flash are broken and are interfering with the lens being able to take a photo. It seems the only way to get this fixed is take it to a camera repair shop and have them adjust the flash, or send it in for the $60 repair. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Here's something I usually recommend with this problem in other cameras.. but try it at your own risk (surprisingly it usually works). Simply take the camera and bang it against a hard surface a couple times until the mechanics separate themselves from one another. Again, this may work, or it may cause more problems, so try it at your own risk.
