The camera definitely does the metering but the flash is called E-TTL as abbreviation of evaluative TTLI shot with TTL-only strobes for a couple years, and I could definitely tell the difference between spot metering (making sure the foreground subject is in the center of the frame) and multi metering. I'm going on a liveaboard next week, will give TTL another try just to see what it's like.
That I know only Nikon has documented spot metering with flash and is for studio work
The easier way to test is at home in a controlled environment in the ocean spot metering is a bit difficult for wide angle with things that move so you can't be really sure of what the camera does
