Hazy Indoor Flash Shots


I recently purchased a zoom/directional flash for my Canon Elan 7 SLR camera. I've had mixed results with the flash, with the most common problem being shots that turn out "hazy", grainy and washed out. I've not been able to pinpoint the source of my problem, be it film speed or the angle of the flash (e.g. where the light is bouncing off of). I can scan in a sample bad shot if it helps.

Flash: Quantaray 6600 Series
Lens: Canon 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6

Here are two "good" examples. Both were with the zoom flash and with the 75mm lens. Both were taken less than 10 ft. away. 200 ISO film.
