Crossword Genius

Person from abroad sorted out in camera (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

american

'person from abroad' is the definition.
(someone from the USA)

'sorted out in camera' is the wordplay.
'sorted out' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'camera'='incamera'
'incamera' is an anagram of 'AMERICAN'.

(Other definitions for american that I've seen before include "one like Garfield?" , "Sherman, for example" , "Beauty of Film" , "Citizen of the USA" , "like Buffalo Bill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
