User level: Level 1 (4 points)The camera quality on my 14-inch MacBook Pro M5 seems to have decreased recently, possibly following the Golden Gate update. I'm unsure if this is a widespread issue or specific to my device.
Are there any settings I can adjust to resolve this? I've already confirmed that no filters are enabled and the camera is in normal mode.

hmmm... Have not heard this before.
If shutting down and restarting does not resolve your issue try a safeboot.
A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
