Use that hand-in-glove with the focusing mode. As I use manual focus, naturally, I want light metered at that spot (*usually true* - no absolutes in photography).
The way that works is that you get the camera and scene ready, and tap the screen at the point of interest. A little wire frame lights up at that point - that's the focus and meter point with my settings.
From page 80 of the manual (and
not saying to RTFM, just hoping it explains it better):
Quote:
Metering mode: Lets you set how the camera measures the amount of light to calculate the best exposure:
�� Spot metering mode allows the camera to measure light around the focus point.
�� Center area mode allows the camera to measure light in the center.
�� Average mode allows the camera to measure light in the whole image.
This option is not available when you are using the second (front) camera.

By the way - my user guide is still in the wrapper - I use this pdf:
