I also use the E-510 and I tend to use spot metering about 90% of the time. Proper metering of the light level determines the exposure of the photograph, varying degrees of under, correct or over exposure. I find that spot metering with the Oly gives me the most accurate exposure most of the time. Generally, I will take a meter reading from brightly lit areas or skin tones, then recompose the shot.
