"I just read this post and tried it out for my self. It does. Just line
up on the bouncing dot in manual."
I just tried it, too, and I'm not so sure.
To get a spot reading, you have to press the SPOT button. But that
doesn't switch the camera to spot mode. Rather, the camera takes and
memorizes a single spot reading. Once you take the shot, the camera
returns to center-
weighted readings.
It seems to me that in order to have "true" real-time spot metering, you
should be able to switch the camera to spot mode, and have it remain in
spot mode between shots.
Of course, spot metering often requires reading a non-central part of
the scene and locking that exposure. So, from a practical point of view,
the OM-4T is no different _in use_ than other cameras that remain in
spot- metering mode between shots.
Still...
