Hi,
Please ensure that you clean the lens of your camera. Then, if you'd like the camera to be as it was when it was first provided to you, you can attempt a factory reset on it. If you're still not satisfied with the focus, then you can next move to add an external lens attachment in order to improve the camera's focus.

1) there is a manual focus mode, get out your manual and set it back to automatic focus
2) there is a focus issue known to cannon, they base it on contrast levels (which is horrid and never works) so either don't buy canon or play with your white balance and iso settings until you get enough contrast for the focus to register
Think that you mean the S2 IS? If so, Canon has not yet to offered an advisory repair of that particular problem (although many people think they should as this seems to be quite a common problem for the S2). There are however some simple things that you can try to revive your camera from the likely "stuck shutter" problem that you're experiencing. See this blog article.
Take Canon offer or sell your as parts on Ebay. your camera can not be fixed with out great cost and you still have an a camera who's value is not that high.
The following blog outlines some repair options for a lens error. They won't work for all cases, but they're worth a try if the camera's no longer under warranty:
1. Do not use the zoom while using macro.
2. When clicking the Macro button, click it again, only for 2 more seconds at the second click, it goes to 'Super macro' mode for zero distance. This works in the Canon S3 IS, I hope it will help you in the older S2 IS.
3. Use a tripod.
4. Use the timer for no movement when using a tripod.
5. Try using the manual focus, it does the trick when the camera doesn't focus automatically.
Good Luck!
