The subject was too far away. The subject should be within 5 meters/16.4
feet from the camera.

unnaturally dark.
The subject was too close to the camera, and a shadow was created by the lens
barrel. The subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the camera. If a
hood has been attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture.
