The fact that you want the shutter sound to be turned off suggests you want to use your camera for the exact things that the shutter sound has been turned off to prevent! This means taking photos of things or people without permission, especially in places such as changing rooms, etc. Which is pretty sick. O2 is just being responsible, I think the New Zealand Vodafone Sony Ericsson firmwares cannot turn off the shutter sound either. Anyway this is rather off topic, sorry.

that is the biggest load of crap and a complete insult to anyone who wants to disable the shutter sound for perfectly legitimate reasons.

If you get your own mind out of the gutter you will see some people do have legitimate reasons for silencing the camera.

For example,
1. I take many photos of birds and wildlife with my camera. I have to get as close as physically possible (no optical zoom). When you are very close and take a photo, the shutter sound scares the wildlife away.
2. At family gatherings where everyone knows you have a camera and no one minds you taking photos, but still when they hear the shutter sound it disturbs their spontaneity and makes it very hard to get spontaneous natural pictures of people.
3. Spontaneous photos of pets.

These are three very real reasons why someone would want to disable the shutter sound.

So I would thank you to stop making moral judgements on people in this forum for no good reason.

FYI - did you ever think that the artificial sound of the shutter releasing is annoying? That is why all of my digital cameras, at least those that make the artificial sound, and cell phones have this most annoying sound turned off.

THANK YOU for this very POSITIVE and REAL post!

* I for one love to be able to take a photo in a club - a PUBLIC environment to capture a peaceful or fun moment. A couple - that I personally ASKED for permission to take a photo within 5mins no later (so they knew if getting extra close I would NOT take a photo of them) - and they said yes. It was magic to see to ppl that cared about each other enjoying the same thing.

Kids at a birthday party become VERY SHY at just having fun or cutting cake when they hear that photo sound.

I can't stand these sanctimonious types who crap on about there being no reason to silence the camera.

Just because their own lives are bereft of any joy or creativity, they don't have to go accusing the rest of us of being perverts!

I always have the shutter sound turned off. It just plain annoys me when its switched on.

Just a quick question. Apologies if its been mentioned. Does the o2 branded k850 have flash themes or have they been dissabled?
