You are not describing sticky mirror, you are describing normal operation of the LX when used on auto with no film present. Sticky mirror manifests itself by an apparent loss of infinity focus as the mirror rest disintigrates into black goo and allows the mirror to misposition itself, and a very slow exposure start after the shutter has been released the first time after the camera has sat for a few hours.
