I dont think you can do it without rooting (I only ever saw the option to disable the shutter sound on custom roms, The options there on the one I have now ) Remember that disabling the Camera shutter is illegal in some areas

I notice Pent sent up a good link for it. My phone (s4) will silent the camera if I'm in vibration mode or mute. So Pent's link should work for you. Alternatively you could see what the sound file is within the UI for your phone, and have tasker rename it maybe? I permanently muted mine by renaming it.

Renaming or replacing the camera click sound is how I permanently fixed the annoying camera behavior.

On the phones I've had, the camera click sound was stored in the system partition, and you'll need root to mess around in there.

Here What I did for this -

Context - APP - Camera 

Enter Task - Silent Mode - Vibrate
Exit Task - Silent Mode - Off.

I have also heard that disabling DTMF volume, or setting to lowest DTMF volume setting, will eliminate the shutter sound on some devices.
