    Hello friends, I am new to this group and seeking your expertise/guidance with regards to the problem I am facing with live view photo shoot. I got 1 Godox TT520 II flash & 2 Godox MS200 studio strobes along with Godox Xt-16 trigger. My problem is, I want to use live view mode for my photo shoot and my lights with it, but my lights does not work in live view mode in spite of using XT-16 trigger. Please advise any workaround or alternative to make it work. Thanks in advance..

    I don't have any experience with Godox triggers or flashes, but I understand there is an issue with 3rd party brand flashes working in live view in general and that if you go into live view settings and turn off silent shooting that the flash should fire.
