Spot metering can make lot of difference in exposure depending on the situation as it takes just a very small portion(1-9 degrees) from the center of the viewfinder whereas evaluative will take the whole scene into consideration.Spot metering is very useful if you know how to make use of it but otherwise better stick to evaluative.Let me know if this helps.

Thanks ... Checked and discovered that when the camera is on Full auto then it does not even give you the facility of tweaking the WB/ Metering etc. Only when you put it in manual mode do those icons, and their sub-menu/options come alive. And its always in full auto mode.
And this was how it used to be (- I absolutely loved the output on this camera!)
And a closeup (mmmmmwah!)
My Batteries have lasted all this while - And there are occasions when some of the photos the colour template gets all shot to pieces - the whole picture gets a blue/purple tint - I don't know if its coincidence but the battery also normally packs up immediately afterwards.
Am wondering if the battery is the cluprit here - not able to provide the required juice? (but it does last me about 30 shots
And now and full daylight/bright sunlight close range shots come out kinda okay but indoors suck big time! Here are two shots taken on the same day, same setting, and by the same person (my wife!)
First outside
And indoors
See the difference in the two outdoor shots!!
THE GOOD - Light?? - Morning around 9am
THE UGLY Evening around 5.30 - the so called GOLDEN light that all you photographers rave about ... and I get this!!!
HELP HELP HELP!
