Thank you so much for this short and straight to the point explanation!! Some things are so easy, but too many do not know these simple rules :D

Thank you...thank you for the video!!! I just bought the R6 and I couldn't get my flash to work! Thanks to your video...I was able to get it to work by deselecting the electronic shutter!!

You are the man. Dziekuje, panie Krakow!

Great video. Can't believe it wasn't working because i was inserting the flash to the end of the hotshoe. Brilliant thanks

[rohanjones]

Thanks for the time and effort creating this, it has helped immensely!

I was having a very strange issue, never noticed it when using the pro trigger, but today when using the 860III or V1 directly on body the flash would fire when the shutter was half pressed, then the camera would just lock up. Had to turn off and on again and then same issue repeated.

Seemed being in the dark caused it. So sure enough I turn the AF assist to LED only and it seems no issues after! A life saver since nowhere online did I see this issue, and in none of the godox documentation does it say anything.

For me though the flash needs to be pushed all the way into the hot shoe, the "first click" actually causes a bad connection.

I spent several hours troubleshooting why my new R6 mk2 with XPro II and V860III don't play together. The TTL was way off. Then I ended up here and checked the trigger's hotshoe seating. I didn't notice any obvious problems there, but installing the trigger again more carefully made the flash work as expected. Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for your useful guidance 🙏🏼📸

Thank you so much it works perfectly as you explained. Have a great day!

Thanks! Additionally, I reached out to Godox to ask why the autofocus assist light (the red beams projected by the flash) doesn't work with Canon's R series mirrorless cameras.
This was their response:
“Unfortunately, our technical team has confirmed that Canon’s mirrorless R series cameras do not support the external focus assist light function.”

Good to know in case you're wondering why it doesn’t work. I also contacted Canon, but unfortunately, they have no plans to support this feature in the near future either.

Bingo! I was getting ready to return my just purchased V860III-C and ProC trigger as both were acting intermittently - I could flash the flash from the remote, but not from the R7 camera. I paid attention again to how the trigger was placed into the hot shoe and it worked right away. Flash indicator showed up on screen as well. Thanks a million - hoping it's fixed for good.

[rocketfuel]

Didn't know i could push my flash too far into the hot shoe. This fixed the problem for me!

[ravkepar]

Great tip! It also works with Godox V1C!

Unfortunately the 1.20 firmware for Canon R7 didn't fix the issue with Godox flashes. The Err 70 message doesn't show but the camera still becomes unresponsive and restart is needed

[chessmckinney]

Thanks so much for this video, Setting to LED only solved the issue with my Godox TT350c and my R7. FYI - Upgrading the flash firmware to TT350C_1.7 solved my flash zoom (auto) not working correctly.
