The Mac's iSight camera is controlled by software. Launching software that uses the camera will turn it on. Standard software included with the Mac that uses the camera includes Photobooth, iMovie, iChat. Other camera using software such as FaceTime Skype or MSN (or other chat clients) can be downloaded.
Once you start any application that requires the use of the camera it will automatically come on. Applications like FaceTime, Photo Booth, etc. You will know it is on by the tiny green light beside the camera.
