  Shain,
The owner's manual makes no mention of the 450si having a built-in spot meter.

  This really isn't "spot metering" but, if you hold a grey card up in front of your lens so it occupies most of the metering area, it'd just be like spot metering. However, make sure the same amount of light is falling on the card as on your subject. At times, this can be hard.
