Whenever I put in a new pack of film usually the first shot will get jammed , usually a gentle tap on the side or reinserting the pack works but I always lose that first shot, any advice/help ?
Is this a good question?

This problem may be caused by a small amount of misalignment in the camera. It concerns a part called “pick” which ist visibly when peering into an empty camera before inserting film. It is in the extreme left corner, a small silvery hook normally feeding the cover sheet or the next picture to be processed just far enough towards the camera´s rollers tofacilitate transport by them. If slightly bent it slips over the cover sheet or the picture frame without facilitating froward motion.
It my be gently bent slightly downwards with a dental pick or likewise to ensure reliable function.
