americana

'typical us stuff captured' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in a camera shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'a'+'camera'='inacamera'
'inacamera' is an anagram of 'AMERICANA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for americana that I've seen before include "Things linked to the US" , "Country objects" , "Things from the USA" , "continental collection" , "items from US" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
