AF Assist light on the flash
In the same manner that the new V6 II trigger/receivers can emit an AF assist light, can the receiving units be set up to trigger the flash to emit the AF assist light?
Most flashes have a powerful AF assist light built into them and it would be nice if that could be taken advantage of.

The V6 II already have functionality to adjust zoom on the flash. Why not AF assist light as well?
This would likey be just a software change.

But let me check with R&D and see if this is possible.
On a side note, the typical nice pattern from the flash won't be appreciated as much by the camera - unless you place your off-camera flash somewhat right above your camera so that it's on the same axis, otherwise the AF light pattern won't line up with your cross type AF points. Nonetheless more light should technically be better for AF.
