Hello =) I was wondering if there was any way to stop the camera from making that obnoxious sound when taking photos. I had an iphone 4s before and i could just mute the phone to accomplish that. I've tried that with the Z10 to no avail. Any suggestions?
Thanks crackberry community. You guys are awesome :big-hug:
first :p
I'm not sure it's possible without a third party app.
In b4 "only creepers would want it off!"
I use it to take pics of diagrams and such that I draw to complement presentations, and I use it in low light at the library so I want to be able to make use of the upcoming HDR mode.
What do u mean by creepers, silly? Can't they use those silent apps too? :p
Every other time this question has been asked here, some jump in and say only perverts would want to have the sound off.
Please we have had an endless post about this issue! Don't stir up the Trolls lol.
Anyways basically the laws have changed to make it illegal to mute camera sounds privacy concerns etc.

I use private camera (3rd party app)

It isn't illegal. I had to write an essay on this topic a few years back. I remember there being a country in east asia that banned it (I think it was south korea) and I believe Japan was beginning to introduce certain laws, but both those countries also have separate trains for women on Subways, which leads me to believe there may be other issues at play, possibly cultural. Other than that, i couldn't find any other countries with such laws.
I think it was mentioned here somewhere that said there's legislation that requires the sound.
At the moment it cannot be turned off (for the native camera).

Such legislation does not exist. I wrote a paper on this topic, as I stated above.
I have Silent Foto, if the need arises where I would like the shutter sound silenced.

It's coming in the new 10.1 update. For now you can use one of several apps in BB World to turn off the sound.
Do you have a source for confirmation? :party::dancing:
From the BlackBerry Native SDK documentation:
I am using the leaked 10.1 and the sound is still there

I already know about Japan and Korea, but those are the only exceptions. BB doesn't even sell BB10 there, at least not in Japan, and very few in south Korea, if any.
Shucks :(
Like skibnik said, we have had a lengthy debate on the topic of it being legal or not. Let's not go there again. :)
OP just hit BlackBerry World. There are at least three options to choose from.
You firsted your own thread? That's cheating
I'm also scared now, these camera click threads don't go down well... Im diving into the trenches now to watch from the sideline
*dives into bunker*
only creepers would want it off!
Even playboy photo shoots have the shutter sound. Maybe they could make it whistle instead.
They should change it to a light cough sound so it is less conspicuous but still there.
The sound does not bother me personally for my use, but I can see the benefit of not having this sound in certain situations so as not to interrupt others that are studying or working nearby.
It would be nice if there were some options to choose from
and before you bother I am no creep!
;)
