How to Turn Off the Camera Sound on Meizu MX5

We all love taking pictures of certain things, objects and people with our smartphones. But it is not always convenient if each new picture is accompanied by a certain clicking sound of the camera, which is turned on by default on Android smartphones. In this article, we will explain how a user can turn off the camera sound on Meizu MX5 in two ways that will fit two different phone use cases.

Muting the camera shutter sound and keeping all other notifications intact

Sometimes a user may not want the camera sound to be enabled, but the other mobile phone sounds may be needed and even important. If you want to disable the shutter sound specifically so you don’t have to hear it each time you take a photo, here’s what you have to do:

1. Go to the Camera app on your phone.

2. Click on the Settings cog icon in the top right corner of the interface of the app.
3. Go to the very bottom of the menu to find the Mute option with the crossed-out speaker icon.
4. Drag the slider next to it to activate it.

This prevents your smartphone from producing any more sounds when you take new photos. Unless you go back to the settings and change the slider position, the rule will always be effective. However, the other sounds will work normally, according to the settings in the other sections of the phone menu.

Turn off the camera shutter sound on Meizu MX5 and all other sounds on your phone

If you don't want to mute the camera shutter sound forever, and you’d like to turn it on and off from time to time, it is possible to do it more conveniently and literally with a couple of taps, without any effort and changing any settings. At the same time, all other sounds/notifications on your phone will also be disabled:

1. Open the control panel “curtain” (swipe down from the top right corner of the screen).
2. Tap the sound settings icon and set it to vibration or complete silence mode.

This will turn off the camera shutter sound until you go back to the control panel and do the same, restoring the sound settings to their original state with the bell-shaped icon.
