In LV the mirror is up and the shutter must also be open so that we get the view on the screen. So when you then press the trigger, the shutter must first close before opening the desired amount of time and then close to take the shot, before opening once more for LV. However, for some reason the mirror also moves.
Is the shutter mechanically linked to the mirror? Can't be. In mirror up mode, the mirror lifts up when the trigger is pressed. The shutter then opens only when the trigger is pressed again. The mirror doesn't move again until the shutter closes to complete the shot.
So I don't understand why in LV, the mirror has to flip-flop.

Yup.
