My iSight camera on my Macbook is really fuzzy

For some reason, the iSight camera on my Macbook seems a lot worse than others I have seen. It's really fuzzy and grainy in both iChat and Photo Booth. Are there some settings that I can change, or should I take it in to have Apple look at it?

I'm sorry to say, but you might look whether there's a plastic cover to take off (like they have on new mobile phone screens and similar) _or_ if you just have to, well: Clean it. A smudgy iSight doesn't make good pictures.

If what Fryke said didn't help, take it to Apple.

I found that the iSight in my notebook is really fuzzy in lower light conditions. Can you post a picture taken by your iSight?

I agree. The MacBook iSight is no were near as good as the external iSight I have on my old G4.
