Normally I'd say that Youtube is good for some things and not necessarily for others, but then I realize that
A) that applies to the internet as a whole. And,
B) it's K David, so it'd be rather reliable if so, or at least learned from a reliable source.
My particular LX has electronics that have been "
going out" for nearly 6 or 7 years now (since finally diagnosed by Eric H about 5 years ago).
Oddly it's been getting better over time, go figure. In any case my meter stays on after the shutter fires. I've never thought that to be anything but by design, and to be frank I'm not convinced now that it isn't, though I don't think I've ever noted that it stayed on longer than 30 seconds... in fact I'm nearly certain it doesn't. And again, the PCB in mine is *confirmed* to be "going out". All that said, there are quite a number of different printed circuit board types that were used in the LX and change over time without notice or regard to production run or model number etc (this is part of the problem in successfully replacing them), so I'm sure that there may well indeed be different symptoms for different vintage LX cameras with slightly troubled internals. (This adds to the mystery and the exciting mystique of owning one.)

Originally posted by LesDMess Just now I tested both and I don't seem to get any consistent expiration time for the LED to go off after release of the shutter switch - between 15 to 35 seconds.
I just performed the same with mine to the exact same result. Sometimes it remained longer than other times.
