Index with the mention "Check image availability"
I came across a strange film that has two types of hints. The film is indexed but with one hint you are not directed to the correct page. See the first two sources for example of Bartholomé Vasanne (9VRS-M5P). The first, added by FamilySearch, doesn't direct you to the correct page in the film. I added the second source myself so you get directly to the correct page.
If I delete detach the first source, it shows again as a hint. What is the problem with the index of that film and must I detach and dismiss the sources/hints that do not direct to the correct page?

Many older films will have the warning that you may need to browse to find the images. Because the films are OLD, images were not directly connected to the index. They pre-date our ability to see images online.
The images have later been connected to the film/DGS, but may not be at the exact position - 2-5 images later or 2-5 images before is common.
Many records have been filmed and/or indexed more than once.0 -
If you browse trough the film after "accepting" the warning, you will see that in this particular case all images have indexes. Do I leave both sources attached to the person?

Yes, please attach both/all copies of the same record to the same profile. If you detach, you will (as you noticed) get a hint to attach it. An unattached record is too tempting - someone will create a duplicate profile.
