Hello,
I recently noticed that my camera on my 1 month old macbook air has a blurry camera. There is no case over it and it happens in FT, i-movie, and photobooth. Was wondering if there was a setting I was unaware of because it wasn't always like this.
Thanks!

Hi there nitasha212,
From what we can tell, the built-in camera on your MacBook Air appears blurry in FaceTime, iMovie, and PhotoBooth. We're glad you've connected with us in Apple Support Communities, and we can provide some guidance.

Hi Sparks0829,
Yes, I tried all of those and my camera still seems blurry/out of focus. Are there any other suggestions?
