If you're familiar with The Zone System, a useful way to think of the
highlight and shadow buttons is that the highlight button "places" the
brightest spot you've metered in Zone VII, whereas the shadow button
"places" the darkest spot in Zone II. (A normal spot places the metered
area in Zone V.) (Why didn't Adams & White just use real numbers? :-)
Note that using highlight or shadow overrides multi-spot averaging. Think
of it as a "peak" function -- take up to eight spots of what you think is
the lightest/darkest area in which you still want detail, then push
highlight/shadow to maintain detail in whichever spot actually was the
lightest/darkest.
