Re: ESP vs Spot Metering?

metering area to follow focus area location.

Not sure about your model. I actively change metering from center to spot, and have my Stylus 1 set so spot metering area location automatically follows wherever I move spot focus to.

In addition, because I shoot shutter mode so often, I find having AEL set up on a rocker/button a big help. I simply aim at a brighter/darker area, choke/open exposure, lock it, back down to my subject.
