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.

that's not the famous footage that all know as the first footsteps on the moon... if you image search for "first steps on the moon" you get a totally different view. a view which was the original and also impossible to not have been staged in some way.
