Happens with me too with my 98 Camry. Its caused by a used\worn valve shield. The car should still run fine and you could get it fixed but even if you don't, it shouldn't hurt the car's performance. Mines done that for a while now and I've just learned to accept it.

How many miles? That should be valve seals, but highly unusual on a car that new.

Get it fixed if you have the warranty. Not a big deal, but it is not supposed to do this, plus smoke can eventually shorten the life of some exhaust components and pollutes more than necessary.

While there, make sure you look inside your engine before they finish the job - you may have some sludge as well - valve seals on a Camry that new is not a good sign in my books.
