it's perfectly normal, the mirror flips up out of the way to capture the image and then the mirror flips back down when the photo is finish taken. otherwise the mirror blocks the view of what you are taking a photo, then the mirror flips back down after the shutter is released.

Yet another question from someone who needs to READ & STUDY the Owner's Manual for their camera. A few photography classes would also help.
These books would also help:
Hands-On Digital Photography by George Schaub

You can't see anything because the mirror has flipped up to let the light hit the film (or sensor).
It will flip down again when you release the button.
Hope this helps.
