On my screen, when I zoom and depress the button half-way I get a flashing
icon in the lower right corner. It is red, looks like a lobster. It occurs
about 90% of the time when I try and do a zoom shot (auto mode).
Can someone enlighten me as to what is going on?

Ah, the lobster warning icon, meaning there may be a lobster behind you.
Look out!

I think you mean the camera shake warning. It means the camera has
picked a slow enough shutter speed that the image may be blurred. See
page 14 of your "Advanced Camera User Guide".
(This is an example of where icons fail--some things just don't
translate well to graphics. The words "Slow Shutter" would have more
meaning.)
