UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO DEVIATE FROM THIS GUIDE...!

NEWS CAMERA OPERATORS: Please feel free to copy, paste or print this flow chart and place in an appropriate place where journo's etc may see your camera and want to play with it. At the very least, you may see an upturn in the amount of free coffees coming your way...
