hello
user of Helicon soft for several years under mac os
I bought a laptop running Windows 10 on which I installed helicon remote and focus.

I used it yesterday for outdoor jewellery shoots with flash studio elinchrom
the connection is made normally, I have normal access to the live view
I can determine points A and B for stacking
when I start the process, the pictures are taken but without flash

while when the live view is off, if I take a picture on the camera the flashes are triggered and the picture appears correctly on the preview screen of helicon remote.

do you know what happens ?
what do I need to do to fix it?
thank you for your help

I received an answer from Helicon's technicians.

Disable silent release mode in the camera body settings. If the flash still doesn't trigger, go to preferences -> Shooting and set "Enable Live View when taking a shot" to "No".

and it works

thank you very much
