Been a while since im active in this phone section. Okay.. Afaik, asian countries have a law that mobile phones with cameras must produce shutter sound and beam light when recording. Dont ask me why...but this can be overcomed with changing the firmware to EURO firmwares or firmwares of other select countries.

1. With some selected countries/EURO firmware you can turn off the sound/disable it either by switching to SILENT mode or turning it off in the camera options.

2. For users who wants to have chinese language, this is a problem because euro firmwares do not have chinese language installed in them.

3. You need to change the product code to EURO (confirmed) or other countries (u need to confirm that it will turn the cam sound off). After that u update the firmware. Done.

This applies to most if not all N series and most probably with the E series & other nokia symbian phones as well.
