In a shocking incident, a pinhole camera has been found inside a women's fitting room at a popular Japanese garment store in southern China's Shenzhen city, sparking public concerns over the privacy and safety of the female customers.

The camera was discovered when a customer using the changing room in Uniqlo at the Xinghe iCO Longhua shopping centre in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, noticed a black spot the size of a sesame seed above a mirror, state-run Global Times reported on Wednesday.

"I stood on a stool and poked it, and it felt soft," the woman said.

She then saw a "button" beneath the "black spot", which felt warm.

"There was no visible wire attached to the button, but why would it be hot?"
