Here's what the OM-4 service manual has to say about SPOT errors, but I'm not
really sure what it's saying!:
How is exposure affected by using present in spot light measurement?
Misoperation to result in over-exposure.
Since exposure degree is determined based on the light intensity reduced by
the preset, over-exposure results in to a degree corresponding to the number
of steps from open to stop-down position.
NOTE: Exposure degree is unaffected in light measurement other than the SPOT
mode (direct light measurement)
