V6 IIs with Sony A7Rii and RF60 (AF Assists Beam not working)
Can anyone please help?
I cannot get, V6IIs - AF Assists beam to light up. My camera setup, Sony A7Rii with V6IIs and RF60. Are there any special settings to set up, thanks.
Comments
Even if you mount a Sony HVL flash on the A7 series camera the AF assist LEDs on the HVL flash will not come on.
We are working on a user-activated AF assist function on the V6 II and V6 IIs. Hopefully it will be available soon.
Thank you.

To test, mount a Panasonic system flash that is equipped with AF assist. If the AF assist turns on that means the camera can send out such a signal.
