I LOVE this camera. It is awesome to be able to snap a dozen photos and pick one(s) that you like. Seriously cool!
That shutter sound though is kind of annoying so I used Tasker to kill it.
I could not find a way to turn it off within the camera settings so I just created a Tasker profile so that when the camera app launches it turns silent mode on. You can snap away and you won't hear a thing. Tasker then automatically turns silent mode off when you exit the camera app so you don't even notice it.
If there is a way to set this in a setting someplace I have just not seen it yet. Either way it is a good lesson in using Tasker. ii
I also tested to make sure that if you already had the phone in silent mode that Tasker did not turn it off when you exited the camera app. It doesn't. It does indeed return the phone's audio to its previous state before you launched the camera. This includes vibrate mode as well.
This all works fast and requires nothing on your part. It is just quiet now. ii
I just thought I would share for anyone who wanted to remove that shutter click!
There may be an easier way but this worked for me.

If you want to easily import this code into Tasker including having a widget for your screen to turn the camera sound on/off see my post below:

==================================
These are instructions to manually add this to Tasker if you just want to have it silent all the time.
You do not have to do this if you opt to import the files as instructed in the above link.
Open Tasker
Make sure the Profiles tab is selected.
Click on the green plus sign to create a new task.
Give it a name such as "Camera Silence."
Press the green check mark.
Select "Application" when the first ontext windows pops up.
Highlight the "Camera" app.
Press the green check mark.
Select "New Task" (name here is optional)
Press the green check mark.
Press the blue plus sign.
Select "Audio."
Select "Silent Mode"
Under mode select the drop down box and select "on"
Press the green check mark.
Press the green check mark.
Press the green check mark.
All done!
