Joe:
 Spot metering is where the camera exposure system looks at only a small 
part of the picture area to determine the exposure, rather than the whole 
area that you can see when pointing the camera.
 It allows you to adjust for backlit items where the overall picture would 
be overexposed by the average light level.
 Most cameras also allow you to take an exposure reading off a surface or 
area and hold it while taking the picture.
 All of our Mavica cameras have spot metering and exposure hold, it is a 
useful feature and common on most cameras.
