Now, who of us is going to tell my wife we also need a flash to go with the new lenses for Christmas. LOL.
That would be you!
But I'm sure you are up to it, especially if you married well!

This is an image in the back yard of a house under consideration. I shot it with a D5300 with the on/in-camera flash and a wide angle zoom at 10mm, the widest zoom position. i had similar shadows of photos inside the house, all shot at the widest angle. My fingers were clear of the pop-up flash.
It doesn't happen with tighter shots, but I hesitate to post interior pictures out of a sense of privacy.
Any diagnosis and cures would be appreciated.

No hat. I think the others diagnosed it. Thanks.

Probably so. That would be the shadow of the brim extending from his chin.

Whatever lens you are using protrudes and casts a shadow with the pop up flash. I had a Sigma 16-35 that did that all the time.

It's the shadow of your lens on the foreground. Try without the lens hood if you are using it.
If you have an auxiliary flash to mount on the camera, it (the shadow) will disappear.

It is probably your own shadow. At wide angle, your shadow can be transferred on the picture and at close up shots, you crop your shadow out of the picture. When taking photos with wide angle, check to see where the sun is positioned. If behind you or at 90 degree angles, you will catch your shadow.

And some posters need to get a clue about when a member is agreeing with a previous post. Always question your assumptions.
Just sayin.

I had the same problem with the pop up flash and lens hood took off the lens hood or a long lens will do it

So Alan agrees with ski, it could be your own shadow. But....the only shadows in the picture indicate the strongest light source is above and to the right meaning his shadow would go to the left, not straight forward.
But (again) this could be his shadow from another prospective buyer directly behind who fired at the same moment he took his own shot. Not likely.
Always question your own assumptions before questioning another's.
