You already own a digital spot meter called an E-M5
From page 48 of the manual
==========================
Normal Spot metering
Choose this option to meter a small area
(about 2% of the frame) with the camera
pointed at the object you wish to meter.
Exposure will be adjusted according to the
brightness at the metered point.
HI Spot metering - highlight control
Increases spot metering exposure. Ensures bright
subjects appear bright.
SH Spot metering - shadow control
Lowers spot metering exposure. Ensures dark subjects
appear dark.
From page 40 of the manual
==========================
Histogram display
Display a histogram showing the distribution of brightness in the image.
The horizontal axis gives the brightness, the vertical axis the number
of pixels of each brightness in the image. Areas above the upper limit
at shooting are displayed in red, those below the lower limit in
blue, and the area metered using spot metering in green.
