Process documentation

My example for process documentation is on a camera instruction manuale. The first few pages are on the initial preparations; things like attaching the strap, lens cap, and charging the battery. It has easy to follow instructions along with pictured numbered steps. The language is really basic and easily understandable. Then the manual gives you a rough introduction on all the properties using a vocabulary that would only be familiar to some one who has previous experience working with cameras, for example words like  ISO speed, and HDMI terminal. To someone who isn’t up to date with technology or technology friendly this could cause some complications, and thus research would have to be done on their part. The manual has to be read thoroughly in order to fully comprehend and grasp the functions of the camera as a whole. Usually this isn’t the case for most camera users, they have some experience and tend to figure the properties out on their own, like me. Overall it gives a pretty good detailed overview on how the camera works, it is up to the camera user to read all of it and take time applying what he has read to the camera.
