It is a switch that's broken. Fairly common with LX bodies. It happened to
mine after being (mis)used for 19 years.
Fairly cheap to fix and should be within the cost of a regular CLA.

I think the 645 is of interest to 67 shooters. If you have the 67
to 645 adapter, which couples aperture and auto-stop-down, the 645
makes a great backup body for the 67 system lenses. You add the
ability to make quick film changes, more exposures per roll, poser
film advance,
I see that the Pentax patent is similar to Nikon's implementation of the IS
feature. This means that it should work at approximately one stop slower
shutter speed than Canon's IS - about three stop worth is gained as opposed
to Canon's two.
