Step by step

1. 

   Open the camera settings

   Open Camera, tap the small arrow at the top of the viewfinder, then Settings. Our picture was taken in Video mode; Photo has the same arrow.

   Done

2. 

   Tap Watermark

   On the Photo tab, tap Watermark. It was Off on ours, which is how we found it.

   Done

3. 

   Turn Photo watermark on or off

   Photo watermark adds a style from Regular, Classic or Film frame. Here it is turned on.

   Done

4. 

   Turn it off

   The switch is grey when it is off.

   Done

5. 

   Check a new photo

   With Photo watermark off we took a test photo. It had no watermark in the corner. Our photo is dark because the phone was lying face down.

   Done

6. 

   Turn off the shutter sound

   Go to the General tab. There are two Shutter sound rows. The first, showing Film on ours, picks the sound. The switch below it turns the sound off; its note says This feature isn't available for live moments. It was on and could be switched on our phone.

   Done

If you do not see this option

• No Leica or Holidays style? Xiaomi lists Holidays, Leica, Regular, Classic and Film frame watermarks. Ours offered Regular, Classic and Film frame, so the styles depend on the model. Source: Generic User Guide for HyperOS 3.0
• No Shutter sound switch? Xiaomi says it is usually on by default. On our phone the switch was there and worked; we cannot say it is on every phone. Source: Generic User Guide for HyperOS 3.0

If this does not work

• Old photos still have a watermark? The switch only affects new photos.
• Still hear a sound? The switch's note says it isn't available for live moments, so that mode may still play it.

About this guide

Xiaomi can stamp a watermark on your photos and plays a sound when you take one. Both are in the camera's settings.

The screenshots are from our Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G with Xiaomi HyperOS 3.0.308.0 and Android 16, in Light mode. The camera viewfinder is always dark. Every switch we changed for a picture was put back afterwards. We deleted our test photo.
