Shutter Sound (Ding) recorded in video mode

Question

I am using a custom camera. When I click on start record button a 'ding!' sound appears which is builtin. This results in this sound being recorded within the first second of the record.

-(void)overlay_start_buttonAction
{

   overlay_start_button.hidden = TRUE;
   overlay_stop_button.hidden = FALSE;
   overlay_rec_label.hidden = FALSE;
   overlay_cancel_button.hidden = TRUE;
   overlay_rotate_camera_button.hidden = TRUE;

   [image_picker startVideoCapture];

}

Is there a possibility to suppress this sound?

Answer 1

Some countries have legislation, which requires mobile phones to make a sound, when recording starts. It's part of the operating system and you cannot disable or replace it.

An example is, when you try to record a phone call with or without permission of the other party. There is a sound effect at the start of the recording on purpose to notify the other party that a recording of the phone call has started.

I guess it's the same thing with video recording.
