Troubleshooting

Meter not showing direct f/stop reading after inserting slide

Ensure the slide is fully and correctly inserted into the L-398M meter. Verify that the meter itself is functioning properly and set to the correct mode for slide operation.

Slides seem loose or difficult to insert

Check for any debris on the slide or in the meter's slot. Ensure you are using the correct slide for the L-398M. Do not force the slide; if it's difficult, re-check alignment and cleanliness.
