Centre Spot
Emphasizes the central section of the focusing screen equivalent to approximately 25% of the image. This provides a balanced assessment and is a typical choice where the main subject is in the centre of the image.
Spot
The sensitive area is equivalent to approximately 2.5% of the image area (the central spot on the viewfinder screen). Any parts of the image outside of this area will not affect the exposure reading. This provides a very accurate measurement of specific tones. Also excellent for tonal comparison measurements.
Spot area is marked in Live View screen.
