I tend to use Centre Weighted Average most of the time (which is as close to spot as I can get on my 350).
The only problem with the 350, is that Canon have buggered it up.


This is Centre-Weighted Average


This is Evaluative Metering


and this is Partial Metering

Am I the only one who thinks Evaluative and Centre Weighted Average should be the other way round?
I agree the icons tend to be misleading.
