Crossword Genius

A cream product, though it's typically black (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

camera

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'typically black' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.

'a cream product though' is the wordplay.
'a cream' can be anagrammed to 'CAMERA'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'it's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for camera that I've seen before include "Judge's chamber" , "Brownie, for example" , "TV studio item" , "Way of making pictures" , "Photographer's apparatus" .)
