From the sounds of it, you switched the image size to wide, rather than normal. Under the shooting mode, you can select panorama--which has standard and wide mode. Adjust it back to standard and you should be ready to go. You may also want to try adjusting the aspect ratio from 16:9 (typically wide mode) back to 3:2 (standard)--if that is not set to 3:2 already.

I hope this helps!
