前 言
感谢您购买此款神牛产品。神牛环形机顶闪光灯ML-150是微距拍摄
的最佳选择，尤其在牙医、珠宝、生物、网拍等微距摄影方面表现尤为出
色。此产品采用高性能CPU控制线路，精确控制功率输出，实现最低达
1/16功率闪光，让您的摄影更随心。
在使用本产品之前，请先仔细阅读本手册，以确保您能安全使用。请
保存好本手册以备将来查询参考。
警 告
请勿让本产品淋雨或受潮，以免发生火灾或触电。
本产品内部有高压元件，切勿自行拆解或维修，如果接触产品内部的
高压电路，可能会触电。在需要修理时请送往指定地点专业维修。
如果在使用中挤压、跌落本产品或受到强烈的冲击，造成外壳破裂后
请勿继续使用，以免接触到内部电子元件造成电击伤害。
请勿在近距离将闪光灯头正对人眼闪光（特别是婴儿的眼睛），否则
可能会在短时间内造成视力障碍。在使用闪光灯拍摄婴儿时，建议闪
光灯至少距离1米以上，或使用反射闪光减少闪光可能对视力造成的
伤害。
请将电池或容易误吞的东西远离儿童存放，如果误吞了物体，请立即
与医生联系。
如果电池内部腐蚀性液体流出，需戴手套取出电池。
请勿在化学品或某些特殊物质、可燃性气体附近用闪光灯，这些物质
在特殊情况下可能对闪光灯发出的瞬间强光敏感，有可能导致火灾或
电磁干扰。在这些场合请注意相关警告标识。
请勿将本产品放置在超过40摄氏度的环境下（如：汽车尾箱），有可
能对元器件造成损坏。
本产品不能防水，在雨天及潮湿环境下请注意防水。
长时间不用时请将电池取出，存放在干燥的地方。
(1) 电源管理
注意：使用完后请把电源开关拨至“OFF”。
1、电源开关拨至“ON”， 充电指示灯不亮表示正在充电，数秒后
亮红灯，表示可以拍摄；要测试闪光，按“TEST键”。使用完后请把电源
开关拨至“OFF”。
2、当充电指示灯闪烁，周期为1秒时，表示电池电量不足，请更换电
池。
(2) 功率选择
本机有5档功率选择，5个LED分别指示5档功率。按“+”键功率渐
大，顺序为： 1/16，1/8，1/4，1/2，1/1；反之，按“－”键输出功率
渐小。
(3) 快门同步功能
用连闪线将相机与闪光灯连接，可实现与快门同步触发闪光。
(4) 省电功能
本灯带有节能模式，电源会在约30分钟无操作后自动进入省电状态。
如需打开闪光灯，请按任意键开启。省电状态下，只有充电指示灯闪烁，
周期约3秒。
(5) 保护功能
1、进行连续闪光保护：
为防止闪光灯头过热并损坏， 请勿在1/2和1/1功率时进行超过50次
的快速连续闪光。50次连续闪光后，要让闪光灯至少冷却10分钟，如您在
进行超过50次连续闪光后马上继续进行更多次闪光，内部的防过热功能可
能会被激活， 使充电时间变10至25秒左右。 如果发生这种现象，请让闪
光灯冷却约10分钟，闪光灯便会恢复正常。
连续闪光保护对应表：
功率 次数（大约值）
1/1，1/2 50
1/4，1/8 100
1/16 200
