CAM messages vs. Images don't match

Hello,

I have DIY assembled an Y6 multirotor running on Pixhawk. I've done
several test flights with AUTO mission used for photogrammetry grid
with 75/75 overlap and using A5000 camera remotely triggered by Pixhawk
using CAM trigger messages. Now normally this solution works great on
other Pixhawk based drones but this one has a particular problem: each
flight there are more CAM messages recorded in the log than the actual
number of images recorded by the camera. Now I wonder what could be the
problem source.. The only thing that came to my mind is that Pixhawk
actually triggers CAM messages (using CAM_TRIGG_DIST command) even
before the first waypoint of AUTO mission is reached. This could happen
when the AUTO mode has been triggered before the first waypoint is
reached. But I have no way of how to find out if this is true or false
because I cannot geotag images (CAM vs. Image numbers don't match). I
always get lower number of images from the camera than the number of CAM
messages. Can you please confirm my suspicion ? Logs here:

The time between the images is 1s so this should not be a problem for the camera.

Thanks
