sounds like the focus and (Optical Image Stabilization)drive motors are bound or broken, sadly this normaly means new camera, unless there are no marks on the case and they wouldn't think that it had been dropped or gotten wet, well ya know, they will normaly repair or replace it as long as it is due to manufacture defect.

I'm not sure if you've gotten this resolved, you probably have - however, others will find this useful. When I left my memory card out the camera worked fine but when I would insert the memory card again, poof: "SYSTEM ERROR (FOCUS)." You can take your memory card to most photo places, even Costco/Walgreens, and ask them to reset your card. It doesn't erase the pictures on there but it does a reset/reboot to the card. Anyhow, I hope this helps. Good luck!

Hello
The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the
probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use
these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly ,
try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the
shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens ,
and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then
try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently
pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may
cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another
way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and
then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to
not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and
down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the
camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your
camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of
your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair
center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to
replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest
you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any
off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about
warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.
Hope
the advise is useful. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you need any further assistance.
Regards
Andrea

How new is it?...can you return it? Can you take advantage of the warranty?
You can also try these (carefully)...sometimes they work.

Sounds
like the Focus and Optical Image Stabilization drive motors are bound
or broken. To fix this wrong will need disasemble the lens unit, focousing unit to do service; if needs, replace the damaged parts and assemble to run normally. Don't do this if your camera is under warranty.
Or, unless there are no
marks on the case and they wouldn't think that it had been dropped or
gotten wet, well you know, Panasonic will normaly repair or replace it as long
as it is due to manufacture defect.
Hope this helps.
