It's still a bit dark here to do a proper test with "bright
light", but I pulled out my R5 w 28-70 and pointed it at a
snow bank outside the window. I got about 1/2 stop faster in
Spot mode than Average, or put another way, 1/60th in Spot
vs. between 1/60 and 1/30 in average. I would expect this
kind of reading, since the snow bank was not "evenly lit"
from the angle that I could see it, so I'd call it "Spot
on". I'll try it again when it's lighter out.
Best,
Neil
