Second beta of Studio Display Firmware 15.5 appears to further improve webcams

Apple released new beta firmware for the Studio Display last week, and the company later confirmed that it fixed some webcam quality issues. With the release of macOS 12.4 beta 3 earlier today, Apple has also made a second beta version of Studio Display Firmware 15.5 available to developers – and it appears to feature even more improvements to the camera.

Since the Studio Display was released, consumers have been very unhappy with the low quality of its built-in front-facing camera. Real-life tests have shown that images captured by the webcam are washed out and very noisy, especially in low light.

With the Studio Display Firmware 15.5 beta, Apple has made some tweaks to the camera, improving noise reduction, contrast, and framing to make images look better. While testing has confirmed the changes, they're not as drastic as they sound. However, the company is still working on improving the Studio Display's webcam image.

While images are still a bit washed out, the latest beta firmware does appear to have increased image sharpness. The developers also note that the update offers higher contrast and more natural colors.

Studio Display Firmware 15.5 beta 2 is now available for developers. In order to install the update, your monitor must be connected to a Mac running the latest available beta version of macOS.
