Studio display Camera Lock Up

[Jdizzle188]

Good evening to the community,

I'm looking for your advice or reassurance with my studio display, updated to Sonoma and subsequently Studio Display Firmware 17, everything was fine up until using photo booth with the new reactions, it worked a couple of times then photo booth just stuck on an image and the camera went off.

Opened up photo booth again and decided to try all of the reactions, this time everything was without a hitch!

Previously to the unexpected camera just switching off, I'd activated both voice isolation and the centre stage function, could this have had something to do with it or would it more than likely have been a macOS issue?

Or am I just worrying over nothing because everything is working as it should after trying again!

All the best

I've seen a few bugs related to Center Stage in 17.x. If I use screen sharing and presenter view in FaceTime with Center Stage on, it will lose track of the person in-frame (me) and put me off center. Rebooting the Mac and Display fixes it temporarily until I again use presenter view. The work-around for now is to turn Center Stage off and manually frame the camera image.

Thank you for this! I honestly wish there was an option on macOS too initiate a restart though!
