I am confused regarding the AE-hold mode. I was able to lock the exposure using the spot metering mode and see "*" in the viewfinder. When I moved the focus point to another one, the "*"/AE-hold seems to disappear. Can someone point out the error for me or explain to me proper way to use the AE-hold?

Why not establish your exposure based on an AV shot, then switch to manual exposure using those settings? Would you like to buy a vowel?

To use it for other focus points, you'd have to use Evaluative metering. Canon could easily update the firmware to allow this, but they're being stingy and keeping that feature only for their 1Dx. 5D III, 7D | 17-55 f/2.8 | 16-35 f/4 | 24-105 f/4 | 85 f/1.8 | 135 f/2 | 70-200 f/4 IS | 580EX II | YN-560 | Manfrotto 190XPROB+498RC2
