A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM, along with an item.

In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 IF EX DG HSM one could find a process description.
