Hi,
I have the latest fw installed in my phone. Supposedly it is now possible to suppress that silly shutter noise while taking a picture. How do one do that?

Turn silent mode on.

Nope, doesn't work

Turn your speaker volume down to zero and that should do the trick.
Posted by fanch
Thanks, but that's not satisfying, You've got to have a phone call first to lower the volume and then take pics.
Weird that Ericsson did'nt do anything better.

The shutter noise is a "safety feature" from
The problem these days is that everyone can run around and take pictures of anyone and do what ever thay want with it.
By having the shutter noise the "victim" has a chance to "defend" them self.
I agree that there should heve been an option to turn it on silent, for use in places where the sound of a camera is interupting. Churches during weddings for instance. But what I just said is the answer I got when I asked
about it some time ago.

You'll have to take a real camera to the wedding then

That is where my sweet little Cyber Shot comes in handy.

I've heard in some countries there is a law that the noice has to be on when taking photos with the phones since there was a woman taking pictures in the womens' locker room and selling them to porno sites

Well, why not having a sound on all small cams then???
Anyway, SE could have chosen a "nicer" sound. Not like someone being smashed!

My K700 doesn't make a noise when taking pictures in silent mode! When I press and hold down the '#' key, then take a photo using the 'capture' soft key, the phone doesn't make a sound at all. Is this a firmware or a regional thing, I wonder?

My K700i also keeps silent while taking photos, when i put it into silent mode by # key... I bought mine from Turkey, unbranded...

Pretty sure most UK K700i's dont have the shutter sound when on silent, maybe cos that law dont effect Great Britain!

Mine has the shutter sound whatever I do.
O2 Uk bought

Mine was bought unbranded and sim-free off Ebay - perhaps it's only the branded ones that makes the shutter noise?

Not so. I've got a horrible Voda one and even I can shut the stupid sound off on that, can't have mp3 ringtones, but then you can't have everything in the world can you.
On the oldest of firmware. just turn the volume to 0 in the edit profile and so as not to miss any important calls turn the increasing ring on. Done no shutter sound but still rings when someone calls.

I have an unbranded UK K700i and no matter what i do, there is always a shutter sound. No big deal anyway, the camera is more for fun than anything. All my contact pictures are from higher resolution photos and imported onto the phone.

My k700i (fw R2A041, brought from CPW on o2 and pretty much unbranded except for "connectivity--->o2--->get settings") has noe camera sound when on silent!
Guess i'm one of the lucky one's

K700 with R2Exxx R2Axxx firmware doesn't have shutter sound when it is in silent model.
For all versions, it is said in some forum that you can take pictures without sound when you are in a call. So the trick is: dial a toll free number which will be automatically answered, then take a picture.

haha my phone is 2 days old, i live in australia, and have tried EVERYTHING possible to turn off the shutter sound. it is just not possible. i phoned up SE and they said dont bother wasting your time mate
Posted by bulti48
Got mine through O2 and when on silient guess what............?
No Sound - Just the way it should be!!!
Posted by dirk27
From my experience with my phone is that when i put the phone in silentmode by holding the "C", the camera makes noise. But when i put my phone in profile "Meeting", then the camera doesn't make noise...
Ever tried that one?
Posted by sexychocolate
Thought that with the newest fw (R2L) your not able to turn down shutter sound. Even with meeting profile or silent mode.

Here is a nice trick to turn the shutter noise off even if its not supported by ur network or anything else...
Set Volume to 0 and keep the incresing ring on, so that it doesn't make noise while taking pictures and u can hear the ring when some1 calls...
Cheers....
Posted by kwissy
haha i have tried EVERYTHING.. it still makes the sound
possibly a firmware thing i think. i have R2L001
