Default Crew 1 views of ISS on approach

The views NASA shared from Dragon of ISS during the approach
(yesterday) ... are those taken by the same camera that is used to
acquire the docking target? The crew is strapped in and the portholes
are not easily reached from the seats.

I'm discussing the shots that show the whole station. The final
approach shots of the PMA are also in play, but the big view is the
sexy one.

There could, of course, be additional cameras that crew or ground
operate remotely, but the docking camera seems like an obvious choice.

Shuttle views were handled by a Mission Specialist shooting through
mid-deck ports, IIRC, but there was also an approach camera in the
shuttle's docking adapter.

virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.

Snidely was thinking very hard :

Here's noting that views from Dragon through the hatch during hatch
opening were in black&white (B&W). Not sure what this says about how
many cameras Dragon was using.
