That's the exact purpose of the sound: in some Asian countries, law REQUIRES camera phones to make least a certain amount of dB when snapping a picture. Bad experiences with lecherous photographers, I guess...Besides, what's wrong with just asking somebody if you can take his/her picture ?

It IS possible. If you know how to change the firmware. Google it, it was posted somewhere on how to write it into the firmware.

is that really the law? there have been phones released in asia recently that doesn't have shutter sound. most samsung phones have the option of no shutter sound.

Samsung is a South Korean company.

They don't have the same laws.

Japanese phones have the sound to stop skirt chasing perverts in Tokyo subway and on the shinkansen.

Have you ever been on the shinkansen/subway? I don't think hardly anyone would notice a shutter sound.

I don't think the shutter sound is needed to be on because of lecherous perverts. Temples, and other such locations do not want photographs taken. Before, it was cameras, which could easily be spotted or just left behind. Now it's on cell phones. Ah, technology.

Also, this topic has been covered numerous times, in at least 4 threads. What's up with that?

if you have beef with the camera sound, cover the speakers with one hand. it muffs it A LOT.

Posted by: AL9999

No, it can't.

how about the 902? can it turn off camera sound?

Posted by: Evo_jai

you can;t turn off the Sound, and some time i really hate it make that sound, cause ppl will look at you , cause it soo catch, like you and ur friends take pictures in a quite place, and the sound catches other ppl near you, but oh well,

Posted by: AL9999

No Sharp phone can deactivate its shutter sound. During video the flash LED will come on too. This is how it is, and there are other, European/US made phones that can turn it off and will be adequate for you guys.

I just cover the side speakers with my fingers and it mostly goes away.

lol haha. yah... what you tryin to do.. take pics of hotties again without them knowing? yah it can be akward but bleh.

Posted by: veilsideprelude

im not trying to do anything weird, i just happen to hate the sound and its so freaking loud and annoying, when i had the p900 i can turn off the sound no problem oh well i guess i'll just have to live with it then

Posted by: yis903unposubl

there's 3 sounds you can choose from. sound #2 is just like a camera shutter sound. i don't think that's very loud, or annoying.

Posted by: Havo

It can't be turned off to my knowledge... Also the flashing lights don't go off either I think. Just cover the speakers to muffle the sound and cover the lights lolz.

is it just not possible? or hard to do (a la changing firmware)?

There are many times where you cannot just ask someone nicely about taking a photo... for example, when you're in a store, most stores have a policy of no photography... but I snap pics of my favourite kicks and stuff all the time in the store with my S710a. so I'm really interested in having this turned off if I were to get my hands on a 903 or 904.

Posted by: dluxpn0i45

yea.. its not possible i think.. i wish i could find a way to swap that noise with a recording of silence or something.. but i wouldnt know where to begin.. lol.

Posted by: azn_boi_128

lol
sound 2 is the best and sound 1 is the worst ahahah but all the sharp's been that way and i havent used another fone for a while ... so i dunt even notice a difference =P

Posted by: Timsta

nah you can't turn off the shutter sound.. its to prevent you guys from going on escalators and doing upskirts and what not...
