How can I turn off the shutter sound on my smartphone's camera?

Q. How can I turn off the shutter sound on my smartphone's camera?

A. A drastic way to do this is to activate your 'Silent' profile. A cooler and more subtle way is to go into 'Tools | Profiles', select your desired profile (e.g. 'General') and then choose 'Personalize'. Scroll down and turn 'Warning tones' off.

Now try taking a photo. Job done! With warning tones off, some system error messages won't beep at you (they'll still appear on screen), but then that might be a good thing too 8-)
