AF Assist - Flash? #182

Closed andyboeh closed 5 years ago

Describe the bug

In low-light situations, my camera has troubles focusing. During "normal" operation, it uses an AF assist light or fast flash-strobes to assist in focusing. Using photobooth, this isn't the case.

I had to create an EOS configuration flash for the flash and autofocus to work at all. Is there any setting that needs to be adjusted for the flash to assist in low-light focusing?

Expected behavior

Flash-firing to assist in focusing.

Sorry for the noise, I read up a bit on focusing and checked my camera manual, unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be possible.
