Flash ETTL either is Evaluation or Average (set via Custom Function), irregardless of the ambient meter mode. Some feel that Average is better than Evaluative for ETTL, because the flash meter is less often fooled by highly reflective objects in the scene which result in underexposure too frequently. That and the fact that we have semi-control with Average over the flash knowing what it'll come out. eTTL's algorithm is unknown and pretty much a guess work.

I'm not seeing this CF setting available in my 40D, nor my 580EXII manuals. 5DMkII, 40D w/ grip, lenses, flashes, more stuff.

Look for E-TTL and it'll give you the 2 options. "Interesting. You're afraid of insects and women. Ladybugs must render you catatonic." - Sheldon
