Spot metering uses only the center honeycomb segment shown by the spot metering area in the viewfinder. You can lock the metered exposure without locking the focus. With a high or low key subject, an object away from the subject can be used to set the shutter speed and aperture. The exposure remains locked until the spot AE lock button is released.
