Could that be part of the answer?

Could that be part of the answer? It might be a long shot but it's worth checking. A photo which is 3/4 black is a classic symptom of using a flash with a shutter speed that's too fast. www.LensesForHire.co.uk

That may depend on the mode in use. I think if it is set to manual, and maybe even Tv mode, it is possible to get this effect. I know I've seen it on my 30D - I can't recall if it was with the onboard flash or a hot-shoe mounted non-ETTL flash that I would have had to use in M mode.
