Can an error in the online digital images be fixed?
There is a problem with the online images for microfilm roll number 1052076.
The first part of the roll contains Band 9, Deaths of Assinghausen (Germany, Preußen, Westfalen, Assinghausen - Church records) 1826 to 1852.
It starts with page 1 on image number 8 of the roll.
Image 9 is page 2
Image 10 is page 4
Images 11 is page 3
Image 12 is page 5
and image 13 contains a duplicate image of page 5 (image 12) but it is out-of-focus.
Is it possible to swap images 10 and 11 and remove image 13?

I expect that no, it is probably not possible. FS generally simply doesn't have the manpower for minor corrections to single items.
Given that there are registers where the right-hand pages were filmed separately from the left-hand pages, ones where the register (or better yet, just part of it) was filmed in reverse order, and ones where nearly every page was filmed at least twice in succession (except, inevitably, the one page that you need that goes a bit fuzzy halfway down), I think you can count your blessings and move on. :-/

If the digital copy is blurry but the master microfilm is not, there is a process for requesting a rescan.
This article: https://www.familysearch.org/en/library/microfilm-microfiche-and-CDs explains the process. Specifically:Frequently Asked Questions
What if the digital image is blurry, has cut text, or missing slides?
Send an email to fhl-slc-filmrequests@churchofjesuschrist.org explaining the issue(s) and a request will be sent to have the physical master copy at the FamilySearch Archives checked and re-scanned, if applicable.

@Julia Szent-Györgyi, you are probably correct but I keep holding out hope that if I make someone aware of the errors, they MAY get fixed in the decades to come.
@Áine Ní Donnghaile, thanks for the response and link. I have reviewed it and I will be sending an email along with this next issue.
There is another mistake on that same roll of microfilm:
Image 153 contains the death records for 10 Jan 1848 to 22 Jan 1848 and the page is numbered 145
Image 154 contains the death records for 6 Feb1848 to 3 Mar 1848 and the page is numbered 147
Image 155 is a duplicate of image 154 - page 147
Page 146 of the book is missing.
I have gone online to the German archives site - https://www.archive.nrw.de/en/landesarchiv-nrw and found the book and page 146 is there.
Perhaps with more errors to fix, the correction will become a higher priority???
