This issue occurs when the shutter speed is set to a value faster than the camera's flash sync speed, or to a value faster than the shutter speed recommended for the flash. To resolve this issue, slow down the shutter speed.
IMPORTANT: For a camera with a 35mm full-frame image sensor, set the exposure mode to Manual Exposure mode (other than ISO AUTO is recommended) and set the shutter speed to either the camera's sync speed or the value recommended by the flash, whichever is slower, or to a lower speed than that.
