The diagram given illustrates the way in which photographs are automatically taken and printed for daily use and official purposes, such as passport applications.
Looking at the illustration, it is immediately evident that the process to take a picture using an automatic photo booth is a manmade linear operation that is done automatically rather than manually. Additionally, there are nine stages involved in that process, beginning with the insertion of coins and selection of photo preferences, and culminating in the delivery of the final printed images.
In the first step, coins are inserted into the machine to activate its system. Following this, the user selects between one large format photograph or four passport-sized images. They also have the option to choose whether the photo should be in colour or black and white, with colour being required for passport images. Once this has been completed, the user can go inside the booth by opening the curtain, then adjusts the height of the adjustable stool to ensure their face is at eye level, which is provided with four arrows pointing in the middle to make sure that the user knows where their eyes should be aligned to. There is a mirror located on the top part inside the booth where users can fix their appearance.
At the next stages, prior to taking the photo, the curtain must be completely closed to block external light. Afterwards, the user waits for a light signal which flashes after a three-second delay, indicating that the photo is about to be taken. Once this has occurred, the machine processes the image automatically. Having been printed, the photograph is then ready for collection. The process ends when the completed photo is delivered through the output slot within 60 seconds of capture.
