Is turning the phone on vibrate or silent the only way to silence the sound?

? I figured it would have a setting in camera for shutter sound on /off? Odd

If you got your phone from south korea, there's no setting to turn it off. It's a law here, every phone that's sold in Korea has to have shutter sound. This is to prevent perverts to take upskirt photos of women

Other countries have similar laws. So it becomes a toss up if you buy international.

Once it's rooted you can use a exposed module to get rid of it
you can easily find mutecamera apps in the playstore 
"MuteCamera". Works great! Thanks for tip.you can easily find mutecamera apps in the playstore
Thank you guys for MuteCamera...works perfectly. Thank goodness. Now I can get my creep on.
What happens during video, it emits a constant buzzing sound?
For the video, there's that regular video recording start sound, nothing else

I fail to see how privacy would play into this. Anyone that wants to take a picture silently can still do so by disabling their sound. Purposefully not including a separate option to disable shutter sound solely serves to make things more difficult, not protect anybody.
You could just load Open Camera from F-Droid and get not only the ability to turn off the noise, but a lot of other settings as well.
and now you begin to understand how the majority of laws in the world work :silly:
How do you disable sound ? you mean silent mode
Won't work
But that mutecamera (no spaces between the two words there) by SangGwon.Park app does. On my v20 which amazed me. Had given up on the G4 because root was not possible.
Free for only 15 pics though. If you watch some ads you get 15 more free, write a review, another 15. Don't know whether paying gets rid of ads. Can anyone confirm ?
It gets accessibility so whether its a security risk is for you to determine.

I downloaded a (paid app) called "SilentMode". It can actually mute any app, not just the (stock) camera, but it works well. Pixel Camera has the option but if you want the stock one for all it's features, this is a good option.
Is it the one by Gazami ?
Out of curiosity which apps beside the camera would you silence ?
Yes, that's the one.
Actually, it's pretty cool, because what it does is mute an app's oral notifications without touching any other apps or the system. I use another app called Kijiji, it's a local classifieds - it defaults to the system notifications so if sounds are on, you get a sound notification. Well, I just want a visual notification for Kijiji...so this app can help.
Reduce the phone volume
You can reduce the volume of mute the phone and it works. So simple I didn't think about it at first. Tested in an European LG V30
