As far as I can tell from images of the lander, there is no camera like the Terrain Camera on Chang'e 3 and 4. At most there might be small monitoring cameras which the lunar landers carried to show rover egress. It's not clear to me that there is any power on the lander after landing, at least after any batteries are exhausted. I'm assuming, possibly wrongly, that the lander is powered by the orbiter during cruise and orbit, and probably lands under battery power, and then it's done.
What we may see, then, would be one or more monitoring camera shots or videos of egress, preceded by a panorama from the rover camera and followed by a look back from the rover, but then nothing from the lander. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Phil I've interpreted no solar panels on the lander in the images as it's mission is over after it lands and deploys the ramps. There may be a power cable from the rover to the lander to allow some functions after the landing, but once the rover moves away... -------------------- |
