Mirror returning to rest after taking a shot

I noticed last night during some time lapse photography that my mirror seems to "fall" back into place after taking a shot. It's hard to explain, but after taking a shot the mirror returns to it's resting position but then about .25 seconds later it "falls" a little more (with a distinct click) into it's final resting position.

Is this normal on the 5100?

Could the camera be set of Quiet Shutter Release mode? If so then there is a delay of when it closes.


Quiet Shutter Release mode works just like Single Frame mode but makes less noise as it goes about its business. Designed for situations when you want the camera to be as silent as possible, this mode automatically disables the beep that the autofocus system normally sounds when it achieves focus. (If you prefer, you can disable the beep for all Release modes through the Beep option on the Shooting/Display section of the Custom Setting menu.)
