Tat is not the lens, that is the camera. Usually you only see that when you have fired off a long burst of continuous shots and the camera has to pause because it is "busy" trying to write all those images to the card. It seems like the processor is having trouble writing the image to the card.

You might have a bad memory card, but first go to the camera's menu and find where you can "FORMAT CARD" and try reformatting the card. If that does not work try another memory card.
