Can we switch on mobile camera and record video without displaying it on mobile screen while taking video?

Never tried that, but I suppose it might be possible with the Symbian C++ APIs. to verify that, you could try teh videorecording example, and modify it in a way that the video would not be shown..

Hi,

Yes you can do video recording without viewfinder, see the video recording example,

"S60 Video Example"
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._0_en.zip.html

void CVideoViewFinder::PowerOnComplete(TInt aError)
	{
	if(aError==KErrNone)
		{
		TSize finderSize = Size();
		// Start view finder. On return, finderSize contains the finder size
//		TRAPD(ignored, iCamera->StartViewFinderBitmapsL(finderSize)); // don't start viewfinder
...
