Your GoPro Hero 5 is small enough and its grey color helps to not draw too much attention to itself, but the beeps from the buttons and LED lights can still be disturbing on certain occasions. Say you are trying to take shots of wildlife and need it to be very quiet. Pressing the shutter button will scare away that rare bird you’ve been waiting so long to get close.
To turn off the beeps:
Swipe down on the screen, go to Preferences – General – Beep Volume – OFF
To turn off LEDs:
Swipe down – Preferences – General – LEDs – All OFF

This can also be done from the Capture App:
To turn off audio beeps: Press the Spanner icon – Setup – Beeps – Mute
To turn off LEDs: Press the Spanner icon, Setup – LED Blink – Off

To minimize the light from the back screen, you can turn down screen brightness all the way to 10%, but you might not be able to see much of what you are recording. The screensaver option allows the screen to turn off after 1 minute of no input being received. drone
