Some cameras has panoramic option located on the bottom side of the camera just slide it to normal mode and you will retain your view.
SOURCE: I have a Minolta StSi camera. The viewfinder is
The linkage may have broken. place the camera on a towel, on a flat, well lit surface. Put the camera on its back. Push the button alongside the lens and turn the lens counterclockwise. Remove the lens and set it aside.look inside the camera mirror area.You will see two flaps that are up against the roof of the mirror area. these flaps block off part of the image giving you panorama.
You may be able to open these flaps by yourself. I suggest nothing stronger than a wooden toothpick. The plastic screen they rest on is very sensitive to scratching.
You can also GENTLY lift the mirror and see if there are similar flaps in front of the film shutter. Move your lever/ side switch to see if the flaps move. I do not suggest trying to move the flaps by the shutter. The shutter is very fragile. One slip and you ruined the camera. Have it repaired by a camera repair shop. Or get yourself another on Ebay. Get a repair estimate before you leave the camera with them. Another STsi body on Ebay may be cheaper.
BTW you can make panorama shots the same way the camera does by cropping your prints. Consider the other cameras in that series HTsi and XTsi as well. The QTsi is very basic but the others offer more features.
