Skydio 2 took way more photos than the mission indicated

I flew my first DD mission yesterday with my new Skydio 2. The mission plan called for a 14 minute flight and 232 photos.

I started my drone, ran the mission from within DroneDeploy, and off it went!

When I got home I found 1400+ images on the drone. It started taking pictures at launch, so there are a lot of photos from that point to the mission start point, and back again. I expected it would start shooting once it got to the start point.

Maybe I did something wrong. My model did not render even after I threw away a few hundred photos of the approach and landing that were not part of the model. Any thoughts?
