Thats how sticky mirror has manifested itself on all of my LX bodies. The first sign of a dead battery is the readout flickering. Unfortunately, by the time that happens, autoexposure has already been affected, and the camera is underexposing by several stops. I have learned the hard way to always have spare batteries along with the LX. It is a pretty unforgiving camera. William Robb
