Metering fields in ZI's viewfinder

The Leica M instruction manual gives some hints on the metering fields in the M's viewfinder:

The metering field covers approx. 23 % of the viewfinder image for the lens being used. However, the following reference value applies to all lens focal lengths: The diameter of the circular metering field is approx. 2/3 of the short side of the applicable bright-line frame.

The ZI‘s instruction manual says only that the metering sensitivity is highest in the center of the frame. Is there a similar rule of thumb as with the Leica?
