Artur,

If slight movement of the viewfinder would cause the meter to read
differently, then you are relying too much on the automation of the
camera.  Generally, I meter pointing where I want, in center weighted
or spot and then lock.  So moving around a bit won't have any effect.
Remember that you moving a bit doesn't change the lighting, only the
camera's view.  So what I said still holds.  Point where I want to
meter, spin the dial to get the f stop I want and then do the final
composition.
