I thought I heard them say at the press conference yeaterday that the first photos will be of the solar panel, to confim that they were properly deployed. However the bulk of the photos will not be uplinked from the lander to earth until tomorrow (something like noon or 1:00 PM GMT, 7:00 to 8:00 AM U.S. Eatern time).

I'm not sure why the delay, but I think it has something to do with the solar panels needing to recharge the lander's batteries before the photos are transmitted to Earth.
