Is this a US/EU version of the phone or the Asian? On Asian version you can't turn off the camera shutter sound. Thanks.

Even on asian version you can turn off shutter sound. Just search internet how to enable shutter sound menu.

Although not perfectly sure what version this is, I use it in Hawai'i as a US version. Having said that, I do believe it is an asian version because one of the text buttons changes the language from English to Japanese and there are no other languages available.

Try entering Setup then press profile + general + personalize + down volume (amount sound).I hope it helps. More, I am selling a Nokia 808 Pureview as new as when I bought, in box. Want to buy? Can you tell me anyone to buy it? It has also screen protector and case.

What you're probably hearing is the in-body image stabilization (IS) in action. If you turn that off in the menu, does the sound go away?

Hi MRK. Thanks for your update!As I said, I checked that it was not on mute and still nothing. I actually tried what you said yesterday, but just in case I tried it again today and still no playback sound, no shutter sound... Nothing. I can see the volume bars go up and down but I still hear (guess!): Nothing.This is not my first PowerShot. I truly love them and, even though the playback sound is not perfect, is still does give an idea of how things are going.Oh well, already contacted Amazon for an exchange.Nice to hear your luck was different! Enjoy!

I bought mine like 2 years ago for $450 it was international phone, it also had 12 month warranty, but now on the title it says "no warranty". The seller i bought from isn't there anymore. I don't know sorry

The phone has a region lock on it. You have two options (a) root the phone and use regionlockaway which voids the warranty, (b) get a phone that will work in the region you are going to (not on the blacklist on the customer.xml file). Be very careful. The vendor I bought from (Mercate) shipped a box with the European model with the region restriction label peeled off. These phones are region locked and don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise.

It's probably the black one. If you search for xperia silver you will get 2 other results, 1 being int'l edition and the other the US version (x1a).

The shutter is slower. I bought it and wasn't happy with the delay so I bought the 5. Love it!

I turned mine off. It works but on mine it some times caused shimmer in play back, if you're moving the camera following action. If you're using telephoto and not moving camera or slowly moving camera, then ok. If you want to capture a frame to save a photo then you need it on.

It is a camera that was sold in another country. It makes support hard because Samsung will only provide support for the camera from the country it was originally sold in. To get support for your camera you would have to call that country.

Be careful buying the international version. Mine just died today and I'm finding out that it is not covered under any Samsung warranty, at least not in the U.S. Ask the seller what type of warranty it has. Better yet call Samsung first. $700 down the drain!

The one I bought from China did not. The seller retained the warranty, and offered to have the camera repaired there if I need it. So there would be a double shipping involved, if they are still in business. I'm hoping not to need it. A friend later bought an all black one from Henry's in Toronto with North American warranty. Henry's is a solid, reliable retailer in Toronto. Whether they have them in stock now, I don't know. I am quite enjoying the camera.

Hi Elizabeth.... One of the things I like most about this camera is that it is very easy to change settings. For me, the menus are very intuitive and that would include the menu for turning off the focus beep. When you go into the settings menu, go to "D" and scroll to the last screen of D and you will find the sound on focusing setting. Set to "off" and you are good to go.

I just got my G9 yesterday, and noticed the noise as well. I read your posts and figured it was probably not a big deal. But I decided to call Canon, and they confirmed that it is the IS mechanism. To get rid of the noise change the IS Mode (under the tab with a picture of camera on the Menu) from continuous to single. Hope this helps.

Hi there Angela I recently bought this camera after doing a lot of research. One of the only things that people would sometimes say was bad about the camera was that under certain conditions, the pictures came out in a condition like the one you described. There are a few things that you can do to help get rid of this "noise": 1. Choose a lower ISO setting. This setting changes the sensitivity to the light. You cannot change this value in the "Simple" mode, but in PASM and scene you can. The lower the ISO level, the more likely you might need to use flash, so open the flash and turn it to Auto (the default setting) when you use a lower ISO in poor to moderate lighting. 2. Change the internal Noise Reduction to High. You can access this setting in the PASM or Scene modes only as well. Changing this may make the picture a little less detailed, but probably only noticeable in something bigger than a 4 x 6. Access this setting by hitting the "Set" button, and then go down the menu to the third page, to a setting called Pict. Adj. and hit the right arrow. Noise reduction is the last choice. 3. If at all possible, take photos in good lighting. This will limit the use for internal brightening and adjusting, which will keep the natural colors and less noise in the picture. Hope this helps!

Adrian, I also have the Fiji FinePix HS10 which I settled on after using the Sony H50 and the Nikon P100. When sounds are unwelcome it's possible to silence the camera completely by pressing and holding the DISP/BACK button for a few seconds or selecting Silent Mode ON in the setup menu. And in situations where the single frame delay means you're likely to miss what you want you can use the Continuous Shooting mode which offers numerous frame choices in both RAW or RAW+JPG. Very useful I've found. I love this camera. But I've also discovered the Sony HX5 which is pretty incredible.
