Digital cameras are big on sound effects. Some cameras play a little ditty when the camera is turned on, make a beeping sound to tell you about an adjustment, and emit a little shutter sound when you take the picture. These sounds may not be appreciated in every picture-taking setting, though. To quiet your noisy digital camera:
Check your camera’s documentation, such as the manual.

Find your camera’s sound effects menu option.
