This howto is work in progress.
Edit config.txt and reboot the device. Camera LED is disabled for good but can be blinked though via GPIO. More information see: https://raspberry-valley.azurewebsites.net/Disable-Camera-LED/
Edit the configuration file
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
Add the following line to config.txt (it helps to add a comment section if you wish)
disable_camera_led=1
save changes and reboot
sudo reboot
