I came down to my office (in the cellar) to read some emails. The
first one was yours Barry B. I then got up to check my OM4, sitting
on a nearby table, and sat at the computer to reply. But I decided
to check on others' replies first and saw Winsor's. It then struck
me that there are probably loads of members of the List around the
world picking up their OM4 or 4Ti to check on the behaviour of the
dancing spot indication, moving it from light source to shadow and
pressing the Spot button. It is not important (to me at least) who
is right, but many of us are interested and checking.

The 4Ti can indeed offer continuous spot! Hit the spot button once and you
get two diamonds - a fixed one and a "dancing" one. Ignore the fixed one
and the dancing one becomes a continuous spot meter.
To the best of my knowledge, the dancing spot indicates a normal
reading, not a spot reading.

Play with it, Barry. The dancing diamond changes with small areas
that differ from the wide field. When you hit the spot button again
it freezes where it was. If it was a normal reading it would jump
from where it is dancing to the spot reading. It does not do that.
Stephen is correct.
