Hi,
a quick update. I just bought a Godox V860III flash for Sony – and it's working! ;-)

The internal AF Illuminator from my Sony a7R V has to be set in Auto and the camera to AF-A or AF-S.
The shutter has to be switched to Mechanical Shutter.
On the Godox flash the AF (assist light) has to be turned on.

Now you will get the red pattern to focus in pitch dark environments if the flash is attached.
Not as fast as my DSLR, but it's working and the light exposure is okay.
Unfortunately Auto ISO doesn't work properely, so I switched it to normal ISO.

Conclusion, this Godox flash and Sony camera combination with mechanical shutter is working.
Much better and more decent than the camera's built in AS Illuminator or Model Light on the flash.

I will test everything more on my next night event shooting.
