Hi,
The spot metering range covers the center of microprism to the
outer edge of it. You must understand that this type of metering
is also center weighted but only aprox 20f the entire frame.
I´ll put you one example: You want to make one portrait, so
you choose one zoom lens, for example Zuiko 65-200/4; you are
about 10 meters from the subject and you want to spot meter
only the light on her face, so you zoom to the subject, take
one spot "with 20f the entire frame" and you zoom back again
to 65mm. You could meter a small area due to the zoom lens, but
you metered the 20f the entire frame. Some spot meters, can
modify from 4º to 0.5º; this feature is great because you could
be using one fixed focal lenght and spotmeter a small area.
So if you aren´t happy with this, get Camedia E-10 with 1.4%
but you won´t have multispot metering technique from the best
camera ever developed. Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Dave
