16" M1 Pro Camera Grainy (Beta3/Public1)

[paulg1981]

Hello all,
I have noticed that the camera on my 16" M1 Pro is considerably more "grainy" than it was on Monterey. I understand this is a beta and it is not a dealbreaker. Just wanted to know if others had noticed the same or perhaps there was a setting I was missing. Happens in Photo Booth, FaceTime, etc.

Thanks for any experience you can share!

I noticed the same on my 14" MBP on PB1.
My guess would be they just did away with that stupid skin smoothing affect on Monterey. Looks more natural this way but quite grainy if you're not in a super well-lit room.

Sounds like you are right but man I can’t believe how poorly the FaceTime camera looks now.

It is much improved on the latest release

Actually they went back to that stupid skin smoothing effect from before. I hate it!
