New mount mounted to a Minolta 7 film camera with the chip put in place for checking alignment spacing. See how the contacts of the chip are aligned with the pins on the camera. This is the target indexing of the chip and any deviations will lead to the chip not making contact correctly. A 1mm shift is too much as I have learned the hard way.
