After the camera variable is defined and used as below;
camera = webcam;
picture = camera.snapshot;
I use;
clear camera
However deleting the structure of course doesn't disconnect the webcam.
How can I officially stop image acquisition and disconnect the webcam?

Try the function version:
clear('camera')
That is in the documentation as step 8 in: Acquire Webcam Images (link).

Yes, I can turn it on and off with other software which reaches to webcam.

Then request help from MathWorks. Use the Contact Us link in the upper right corner of this page.
Run the ver command from your Command Window first. Then copy and paste the results to the appropriate window.
