Jade,

 Hello.  Sorry you are having problems with your camera.

 It seems unlikely that you set something by accident. But it is possible.

 There is a round pad on the back of your camera with four different symbols on it.  The one on the bottom should be a flower.  That button controls auto focus functions.  Cycle it through its different settings (they will show up on the screen). One of the settings should say something like "AF" or "AUTO".  That is where you want it.

 If that doesn't work then the camera is probably broken.  Unfortunately it would cost more to fix it then it would be to buy another one.

 Hope this helps.
