I have the following problem. I obtained Phase One 645DF camera. There is function for the metering mode changes (see the exception from the user manual):
The function on the body stays at the “Center spot exposure meteringâ€. When I press the exposure metering mode button [A] there appears on the display the empty square. However, when I turn either the front or rear dial there is no change in that square at all! After some time it simply returns back, to the main display. An whatever I did – trying different sets of functions, nothing helped.
So, the camera is permanently locked upon the “Center spot exposure meteringâ€. Nothing terrible, but I would prefer to have choices anyway.
I was certain, that something is wrong with that certain camera. Then, I obtained the body of Phase One 645DF+. To have the backup shutter possibility (because I learned that there frequently happen problems with it, and the replacement is very expensive). And what? I discovered there exactly the same problem!
I am not able to believe, that there are the similar wrongs with both cameras! So, I suspect, that maybe I don’t understand something exactly in the user manual. Bat what? Has anybody had any experience with that cameras – to give me the advice what is wrong?
Also – I have to rise up more than two stops of the compensation, to obtain the right exposition.
I use the same P25 back for both cameras.

The greatest thanks for the information! 
So, then it is not the bug, it is the feature.
