Hi all!
I noticed, more or less by chance, that the pictures on the negatives often are not positioned symmetrically between the perforations. This is not dependent on film brand. Sometimes the bottom of the picture lines up with the upper ridge of perforation. Did you observe something like that? Is this feature the reason to get my camera (MP) serviced? Thanks.

Reading the FAQ on how to post, would be a good start.

It's not likely a camera problem. When you load it the next time make certain the sprocket teeth are in the sprocket holes of the film and advance it one frame before closing the back and outting the base on. Just make certain the sprocket teeth and holes mesh.

Thanks, I will be careful about that next time. Maybe this is the source of problem.

lol. It took me 15 tries before my response was posted. I figured it was an Internet problem.
As for you situation, I can think of a few problems, including film sprockets, film cannister placement(tension on the container, take up spool drift. As long as the images are not going out beyond the sprocket holes, I wouldn't worry. Are you processing the film yourself and you see this on the film, or do you have it processed and scanned. If the latter, and you are viewing the scanned images off the disk, I can assure you that many quickie labs don't care if each image is aligned. I have changed from a couple of 1 HR places and wound up at Costco because the person in charge is also a film shooter, and she cares about what comes out the end of the machine.
Anyway, I hope you get the problem solved, I I hope you took my first response tongue-in-cheek.

Film are processed in lab, and the misalignment is seen on films.
