When you recompose before shooting, the exposure LED's will react to the changing light and look as if you have lost your spot measurement, but the actual exposure will be based on your original measurement (provided you have maintained the shutter button in its partly depressed state with the red circle extinguished.) I will be glad to recheck my instruction book in the AM, if necessary.

I recently got an R4 and have been shooting with it a bit lately. I am used to the R3 and it is really easy to lock the exposure (auto) on a spot-metered area, then recompose and get the desired exposure - standard stuff I think. With the R4, when I partially depress the shutter button, and then recompose and shoot, the original (locked) exposure is not being used. Is there a way to lock exposure on the R4 in Auto Spot mode? Auto spot metering is so useful when you can lock, and so useless when you cannot, me thinks.
