(posemètre) spot ombre
Note that this is referring to the TYPE of exposure metering used, NOT to an area of shadow!
It appears that a 'spot meter' is referred to as a 'posemètre spot', so I presume you need to retain the word 'spot' even in FR.
As for 'shadow', one of my photographic clients does indeed use 'ombre', though I have also seen other terms used, inlcuidng 'basses lumières', a rather uncomfortably literal translation of 'lowlights' !

A 'spot' meter is used to look selectively at just a small part of the image, instead of a 'simple' meter, which would look at (for example) an average of the whole image, or of one zone of the image.
'Spot' here is very specific; it used to be literally a small, round sample area.

Lots of cameras use 'zoned' metering, which is NOT AT ALL the same thing as 'spot' metering (though there may be some overlap, depending on particular mfrs' design choices)
It seems to me VITAL to retain this distinction, even in FR
