[Q] Silent camera shutter?

---

How can be the camera focus and shutter sound be silenced? I tried rooting the device and creating a local.prop file in data folder in root as for Galaxy SII but without results. Any hint appreciated!

Just turn the volume down before you launch the camera app - the volume control controls the zoom level when the camera is launched.

Delete/rename Camera_Shutter.ogg in the /system/media/ui/ folder?

Close, but not quite. /system/media/audio/ui/Shutter_01.ogg is the one. Thanks for the hint, wouldn't have found it so quickly without it.

Thank you

Without rooting, how can I silent the shuttle sound from taking camera and video? Silencing the phone is not working for me.

thanks!

but where is the focus sound? you know when the camera does auto-focus it makes sound.

that worked, i added "(off)" to the file name , in case i ever want to turn it back on, i can always delete the "(off)" part.

thanks!

go into settings, sound and tap volume and set the media volume to 0, see if that works for you.
