Not really - it's Canon-speak using numbers that tries to convince you they've got something like spot metering. Don't forget that's an area measure, so it's more like 30% of the width & height. In fact I'd bet that, as the metering area is probably rounded rather than rectangular, it's practically indistinguishable from what we think of as center-weighted (or centre-weighted) metering. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
