Camera on a robotic arm.
so then the first steps were not actually when they said but when they went out to place the robotic camera.. which must have happened even before the module landed ....somehow.
No. The camera was mounted on the lander before liftoff. Camera also recorded the descent onto the moon. 16 frames per second. https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/nasa-just-released-an-amazing-new-video-showing-what-neil-armstrong-saw-during-final-crucial-moments-of-moon-landing.html
You may be mentally confusing the external still shot of Armstrong and the flag, (which they explicitly took with a high res (for the time) color camera while they were on the surface) with the actual video showing him stepping off the lander. That video is here...shot from camera mounted on lander, at the rate of 16 frames per second, black and white. https://youtu.be/w4wx_3XOrns
this camera view is not the one used for the famous "first steps" footage. it's the footage of the decent or approach... and it's not even real, it's called a simulation lol...the camera view of the first steps can not be possible unless those weren't the real first steps. and he wasn't the real first person on the moon... i guess the camera man was lol.
