See Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090.
If your problem continues after considering all relevant suggestions there, use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then download and apply the latest Combo Update for your Mac OS. the current Lion Combo is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1582
Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera. For hardware help, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
