First I would check your batteries. Underpowered batteries can easily affect lens movement and camera performance. Digital cameras require a lot of juice and as such, using Alkalines simply isn't good enough anymore. You need high powered batteries which have a power rating (mAh) of at least 2500.
Secondly, clean your battery contacts. Dirty contacts can cause your camera to not get all the energy it needs, duplicating that issue. A pencil eraser does the job nicely.
Lastly, try resetting the camera, then updating the firmware. Sometimes firmware can corrupt, needing to be reloaded. Outside of that, with the camera's age, you may be looking at a repair.
