Shutter Sound of Japanese iPads

Hello, I am a foreigner currently living in Japan. I will be going back to my home country in a few months. Before going back I was planning to purchase an iPad however I was wondering if the shutter sound can be turned off when using it in other countries? Thanks in advance.

iPad 2, iOS 9

Devices that are sold within certain countries/regions may have certain features denied or required by local legislation. Removing the device from the country of purchase to a different region does not remove the restriction.


As such, in countries where the Camera Shutter sound is mandated, this restriction cannot be removed or modified.
