I've made the disable_camera_led=1 change to the sudo nano /boot/config.txt and rebooted my Pi. The issue is the LED has stayed on?

How do I turn it off?

  • I think that the ability to turn off the LED in software depends on the camera that you are using. What camera are you using? – 101100 May 23 '13 at 17:57
  • It seems to be a bug it the current software http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=44759&p=355475 http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=44308&p=352456 – MichaelPh May 23 '13 at 20:55

I had the same problem. I found that in one of the updates they actually broke that feature. A subsequent update fixed it. So I would try updating again.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Here is a tutorial on how to turn off the camera led: Here

You can also as the tutorial states, make a python script that turns the led on/off on different actions. Or just make a script that turns it off at startup.
