The spot metering point stay in the center of the frame it does not move to the
focus points.

The Multi Segment is going to read the entire frame from each of six segments
and set the exposure based on computer logic of the program established by the
camera manufacture. The multi segment is a compromise exposure at best.
Metering is really an art. Every camera meter is set to an 13% Gray (not 18%
as most people think.) If you metered off a 13% gray surface for every
exposure you would have a perfect exposure. If you meter off a white surface
the meter will think it is a gray and the exposure will come out dark. If you
meter off black the surface will meter will again think it is gray and the
exposure will come out overexposed. Therefore, I use the spot metering and
adjust depending on the color. Light colors get plus above the meter reading
and dark colors get a stop down from the camera reading. If you are going to
use the multi segment meter I would recommend bracketing.
