Metering is weighted at the center of the screen. Use this metering when
you want to compensate the exposure by experience, instead of leaving it
to the camera.
The illustration shows that sensitivity
increases as the pattern height increases
(center). This mode does not automatically
compensate for backlit scenes.

With spot metering, brightness is measured
only within a limited area at the center of the
screen as shown in the illustration. You can
use AE lock in combination when the
subject is extremely small and proper
exposure is difficult to obtain. (p.69)
