Good afternoon Krishna@pasumarthi,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you are not getting a clear image using the camera on your Mac for FaceTime. Do you have an iMac or a notebook computer? Has this always been the case, or has something recently changed?


First, check to see if there is anything on the camera that may prevent it from focusing. Wipe the camera lens with a soft cloth. If this is a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air and you have a case on the computer, please remove the case and test.


Try the camera in multiple apps - in addition to FaceTime, you can try iMovie or Photo Booth, for example. Do you get the same results?


If so, try resetting the SMC on your Mac - How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac

Also, test the camera in a new user account - How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac


Please reply back to this thread after trying these initial troubleshooting steps, and I'll do my best to help you!


Take care.
