What would happen then?

SHADOW places the darkest single spot 2 2/3EV less. So both

        Charlie,
        Hitting the HiLITE or SHADOW buttons after taking multi-spot readings 
would seem to defeat the purpose of taking the time to use the multi spot 
feature, no?  After all, the purpose of multi-spot is to fine-tune the 
exposure, and then to hit HiLITE or SHADOW would throw out all of your work 
and the camera's computation in figuring an exposure.
