Re: Canon R3, inconsistent exposure

As a long time 1 series shooter, it’s disappointing that Canon saw fit to drop the spot/partial metering based on the focus point for the R3. As Canon’s current flagship mirrorless camera I would have expected it to have this feature.

That said, I have found Evaluative metering to be pretty good and am used to compensating for specific subjects that require it. At least I can configure the R3 to set Exposure Compensation the same way as I have it on my remaining 1DX II.
