There have been a couple threads similar to this during the past two years...you cannot turn off the sound of the camera in most countries. Some allow you to do so, but others prohibit sinlent photos due to privacy considerations.


You can mute the iPad and get rid of the sound that way.

In the US, it is possible to turn off the sound, but not just by using the mute switch (I know, I tried that and it did not work for me).


Golfnhi's solution did work for me.


I need to have the camera silent because I mostly use it to scan portions of books at the library for research. Yes, that is allowed. I checked with the librarian. However, I do not want to bother other patrons of the library with the constant shutter sound. It is simply too annoying. So, I'm glad there is a solution out there.
