Spot metering

This type of metering uses only a small central spot of the frame to measure the light coming off the subject. The measuring spot is often indicated in the viewfinder of the camera. This system, unless used carefully, can easily result in the metered area being well exposed while the rest of the frame is either under or over exposed.
