I have an embarrassingly simple flash question. What does TTL stand for?

Through
The
Lens

It has to do with the metering being off the film plane (sensor plane). You'll likely see it regarding flash units that are controled by the image as the camera sees it, rahter than the flash unit having a sensor of its own controlling the output.

Hope that helps

Regards
Steve
