M10-R "shifting the metering field", what the heck does it do?

If you tap the LCD screen in Live View mode, it's supposed to "shift the metering field". I was playing around with that, and I still can't see what it does. All I see is the crosshairs move to a different part of the image, but the exposure doesn't change. And worse...I can't figure out how to get the crosshairs back in the middle without turning the camera on and off. Any ideas?

Did you push the shutter button halfway? Because only then you see on LV the image with the planned exposure and beneath a ruler with the amount of over- or underexposure in 1/3 stops

I did, and still nothing, so I must be doing it wrong. More importantly, any idea how to "cancel" out of it, and get it back to default center? It's really annoying it I inadvertently touch it while in LV, and then Focus Assist stats acting whacky.

Thanks

What metering mode were you in?  If not in spot, retry.   The + doubles as the focus point for zooming. AFAIK, there is remains no way short cut to re-center... something a lot of us have complained about for quite a while now.  

This.

What is that blob after "This is displayed as" supposed to be?!

I think it’s a screen icon.  I posted screenshots from the instruction manual, which is available here
