That natural, you can change the cascade setting (make the Level0 distance lower).

Hello. I attached screenshots with shadow settings. With 500m distance and 2.5%, 5%. 7.8% values I have a good shadow, but very bad shadow with a little zoom out. If I increase Split 3 value, shadow becomes good at this distance and bad at close distance. It is impossible to find best settings.
