I've just learned to implement setting CameraModeFlash.Off when presenting UIImagePickerController.Camera.

Is there any way to make the default shutter sound silent??

There is no way to remove the shutter sound, unless your user has put the phone on silent mode. You can hack your way through by playing an inverted audio when the shutter captures (with AVFoundation).

You might not want to turn off shutter sounds with this hacky method either, because in countries like Japan, shutter sounds MUST be on regardless of if silent mode on or not.
