Foxy,
No. If you press the spot meter button you are only setting the first
reading in memory and allowing the spot function. The meter then will be on
and reading the spot area which is the circular area in the finder. You may
wave the camera all over the world and take spot readings on the fly, and
even take a picture while doing so. If you wish you can enter in up to
eight spot readings. The second spot reading is averaged with the first,
the third with the others and so on. If you only press it once you are in
spot metering mode.
If you wish, I can post some outtakes of the book on the web for all to
see....
Regards,
Bryant

This is a rehash of a thread that was going when I joined the list, so to
the old hands I apologise. But I understand that the 4 takes it's spot
reading when the spot button is pressed. And stores this reading. So it may
be auto, but not continuous. Am I wrong here?
The ability to take multiple readings is nice, but again it is a snapshot
reading.
