On an iMac under OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard), in Mathematica 8.0.4, I 
evaluated CurrentImage[]. That automatically turned on the built-in 
"FaceTime HD" camera.

Is there some programmatic way from within Mathematica to turn the 
camera off?

And if not -- OT: is there some simple way to do this in OS X? (Other 
than open and then quit the FaceTime app.)
