Gambles when cameras linger? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

long shots

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

'gambles' is the definition.
(long shot is a kind of gamble)

'when cameras linger?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'when' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for long shots that I've seen before include "racing outsiders" , "A telephoto lens will record these" .)
