I have never seen any figures for just how much CWA weights the center spot, so I prefer Partial which is a simple average of a known area. Elie / אלי

artyboy Senior Member  796 posts Likes: 1 Joined May 2007 More info | scenes with lots of light & shadow all over the place - evaluative. metering for specific areas of the scene i want given priority - spot. rarely use centre-weighted tho. as mentioned, i find evaluative in flash mode quite reliable too.
