Kooky American avoiding press and public (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in camera

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

'avoiding press and public' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'kooky american' is the wordplay.
'american' can be anagrammed to 'IN CAMERA'.
However, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in camera that I've seen before include "Of courts, heard in judge's private room" , "as films these days are less often seen" , "without full scrutiny?" , "(Held) in private" , "Where you find digital pictures" .)
