Yes, but they use a separate prism sensor for metering with the mirror up from the OTF meter during exposure. Note: Many cameras have OTF metering for flash control, but not for shutter control. Only the LX uses part silvered primary mirror and a secondary mirror allowing the same sensor to be used for all metering functions.
