Orthodox image Japanese camera ejects first (4)
I believe the answer is:
ikon
'orthodox image' is the definition.
'ikon' can be an answer for 'image' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'orthodox' bit.
'japanese camera ejects first' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'first' could be 'i' (I in Roman numerals eg Elizabeth I) and 'i' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'kon' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ikon that I've seen before include "Religious painting" , "Devotional painting in Eastern Churches" , "Revered image" .)
