If I were to choose, it’s very much a no-brainer on what the first one should be: focus the telescope on literally absolutely nothing. Just black space that we have yet to see. I’ll tell you why, because when the Hubble did this, it put forth the single most iconic image from space, and I’d love to see an even better camera take a crack at it:

They aren’t going to do the deep field for a first image. They are picking these first ones strategically to calibrate the various instruments on there. The deep field image is a considerable time investment, they want to make sure everything is working right first.

Fair enough with the calibration reason. As soon as it is calibrated though, it really shouldn't be much of a discussion.
