timing belt slop?

so, Ive noticed that my timing belt seams to be getting slop in it after the vehicle is shut down and sits for a while. Is this normal? if the vehicle is started and ran for a min the slop goes away, and its nice and tight, but after the vehicle has sat for a few days its quite loose between the cam gears.....thoughts? auto tensioner is going to be what many people suggest, Im assuming, but has anyone noticed this before and can you give feedback as to if this is a failing autotensioner....or normal?

Because of the type of tensioner our cars have, it will let a little bit of the tension off of the belt as it sits. Don't worry, once you start the engine back up, everything will be back to the way it should be.
