> How to turn off the camera shutter sound W810i?
Bookmark topic
Interestingly, on my T610i and my K700i, on Orange, it was impossible to turn the camera shutter noise off (due to privacy laws etc in UK), but now that I have a W810i, the shutter is silent in Silent mode (also on Orange) so they seem to have relaxed this rule.

Maybe it's me but I think that the "privacy" reason is very stupid because I have Sony CyberShot p-200 which is almost the same size as W810 and if I want to take "illegal" pictures I can do it very easy with 7.2 megapixels:) and no shutter sound.BTW matty which firmware version you have?

@Infra
It's very much different comparing a cellphone with a cybershot camera, there have been a lot of reports of cellphones being used to invade privacy from other people. Cameras even though they're small they are ONLY used for taking pictures, not as cellphones which can be used NOT ONLY for taking pictures, but for doing calls, play music, send messages, view e-mail, browse internet, play games, etc.....
So as you see it's pretty much a difference if you see someone with a camera on the cellphone and another with only a camera...

You're prolly more 'inclined' to shoot ass*s & skirts with a cellphone than carrying around a camera all day (unless you are THAT perverted...)

I have FW version R4CF002
If there's a more up-to-date FW version, I can't find it anywhere and the W810i on Orange in UK doesn't have the Update Service feature, so I can't updfate it anyway, even if I wanted to!

Lol !
I like your explanations very much! ha-ha-ha!
and of course your're right that with phone can be very easy to take "illegal" pictures but to solve this problem with shutter sound is stupid because if your're totally after doing picture's without anyone knowing can simply tape the speaker,flash the firmware etc. It's really silly way to prevent this.
