[very carefully]

@roopepal, @gerfried,

Check the min shutter speed setting for ETTR, it sounds like you are hitting this limit. ETTR wont set the shutter speed slower than this setting, instead it compensates with ISO. Once you hit min shutter setting and max ISO, it's not going to change the exposure any more (it can't go any further). Was the ISO changing? Was your scene lighting actually changing? You're using the 'Always On' mode not LV right? (step number 3 in the OP) and you have image review on? Do you hear the beeps? How many? (3 indicates expo limits reached, it should also say this on the screen)

Perhaps read the OP again, very carefully. I think you probably just need to make sure all your settings are correct.  http://xkcd.com/627/

I don't know what the problem was, but it has been solved using the latest November releases.

@dmilligan that's the flowchart I usually send out to people 2 persons have tried independently without success ... wether ISO nor shutter speed was changing, despite sun setting down in frame. Also I didn't hear any beep, which I get now with the latest nightly build (before I've tested Oct10th till October 28th). But thanks anyway!

did you activate the ETTR in the module tab?

Does this require manual white balance? I seem to get the ettr working for a few moments, after which it seems to keep the shutter at the same value for the rest of the time. Any ideas or common mistakes?

I have the very same problem as stated 2 posts above yours ...
Any ideas? Would love to get ETTR + Intervalometer working!

thanks for the tutorial on how to shoot ETTR timelpase!
I'm afraid I can't get it to work properly on my 5D Mk III - as soon as I start the intervalometer, the exposure get's locked! Despite it worked properly during standby in liveview, as soon as I start the intervalometer, the shutterspeed won't change anymore.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong?
thanks in advance!
