Canon A630--what is this symbol?

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?

(Sometimes the picture comes out okay and sometimes it doesn't)

Read your camera's user guide.

Look on page 15 of the pdf file (actual page 13)
Information displayed on the LCD monitor.

I suspect it is the (Red) Camera Shake Warning.
