A7RV + Godox V1 flash with AF assist light?

[phrank]

Hi, I just got a Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera and probably want to switch to Sony, because the AF sucks in super low light – Sony is much better. I have realised, my new Nikon doesn't support the AF assist light from system flashes anymore. it's really essential for pitch black situations in event photography.

So my question to this community is, does the Sony A7RV support the AF assist light? A colleague has a Sony and ithe AF asssis light works somehow with the Godox V1, but iI can't remember the camera model. So far I know, none of Canon, Sony or Nikon mirrorless should work because the technology and the AF assist light is deactivated.

Maybe there's a workaround with some camera and flash combinations?

Hi, not much going on here…

Well I just made some tests and here comes the conclusion.

It will work in AF-S with mirrorless cameras with mechanical shutters, AF (light on flash) and AF illumination (in camera) turned on.
