If you don't want to go for all the hassle with UniWB, there's another simple technique to ETTR: use spot metering on the brightest part of the scene (e.g. white clouds), then use exposure compensation of +3 stops (the exact amount has to be tested with your particular camera). This may bring you pretty close to ETTR. Unfortunately, with Canon cameras, spot metering is bound to the dead centre of the frame, [...]

On 1-series bodies you do get AF-point-linked-spot-metering. And only on 1-series bodies, the R3 lacks it as well.

Which I don't understand, it would be so easy to implement in mirrorless.
