spot metering question

In my viewfinder when set to spot metering the hot spot is the far right mark. How do I move the hot spot to the center mark. And is it then possible
to lock the hot spot there?
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

By "hot spot" I assume you mean the active focus-point? Try pressing the "OK" button to automatically move the active focus-point back to the center.
Barring that, use the four-way button that surrounds the "OK" button to manually move the active focus-point back to the center position.

thanks so much for your suggestions. "ok" did the trick. Still getting used to the camera so have lot to learn. Especially since all former cameras lacked a built in metering system.

The latest ones were a mamiya rb67, an older rosewood 4x5 field and an older monorail studio 4x5. Loved them all, but, alas, no darkroom anymore so had to move down to digital.
