What enables continuous view of terrain and ground coverage?

The viewfinder provides a continuous real-time view of the scene, so you can see exactly what the camera will capture as you move and adjust framing to keep terrain in view and ensure ground coverage remains complete. The camera mount only fixes the camera in place and doesn’t give live feedback; an intervalometer triggers shots at set times and doesn’t provide continuous viewing; a fiducial map is a reference tool used later for alignment and georeferencing, not for monitoring terrain in real time.
