Re: R5/R6 Metering

We know that. Spot metering is always in the center with these cameras. But the general idea with spot metering here is that you meter the important point, lock exposure, then re-compose as needed to take the picture.

And yes, it's true that the mirrorless do have settings that are similar to single point AF in a DSLR camera. But it's more of a fallback for diehards than the main focusing mode for the mirrorless ones.
