The Evaluative Through The Lens (E-TTL) flash metering system was introduced by Canon with the 1995 Canon Elan II/50 Camera. Although metering is still done through the lens, the E-TTL flash metering systems works completely on different principles to that of the TTL system. It is also not backward compatible. The system works by firing a pre-flash of calibrated brightness from the main flash unit to ascertain the correct flash exposure. The system measure the Pre- flash light reflected from the scene and then recalculates the correct flash pulse to achieve the proper mid tone on the subject matter.

The situation that occurs during metering for ambient lighting and metering for flash is two entirely different situations. The time to meter for ambient lighting happens before the camera shutter is open. For the Canon EOS camera, ambient lighting metering occurs when you press the shutter button halfway down. Flash pulse metering only occurs when you fully depress the shutter button. There are two automatic ways to meter for flash pulse.
