To Disable Zoom Auto Blurry Background in Mac M1 after software update 01/16/22

Need help. Just updated the Zoom app in my Mac M1 and to my surprise, it auto-blurred my video back ground even if the VIRTUAL BACKROUND settings is currently defaulted at "NONE". I'm using my Sony camera as my webcam and it's lens produces more pleasing/natural blurry background than the app. How to remove the auto-blurr effect?

The solution was to switch to build-in camera in Zoom, then changing the video effect in the Control Center and then switching back to the Canon camera in Zoom.

For some reason, it remembers the settings.
