As to centre weighted, not sure I’d choose to use it for birds in flight unless they were very low flying with a dark background. It is not ‘spot metering’ and I think it might be advantageous to link the metering point to the focus point if your camera allows this. This can be done on Olympus cameras but can’t say I’ve noticed it on my Panasonics, but mine are not the latest models.

I went back and re-edited my earlier post, and have confirmed that on the G9 focus tracking does attempt to adjust the exposure around the focal point when spot focus has been selected, but not center weighted.

I've found the opposite. See my previous reply

Yea… I just played some more with my GH5 and got mixed results.  I think the best thing to do moving forward…

….is for me to be quiet on the subject for the time being.
