On Canyon EOS cameras the power switch has three positions.
OFF
ON (and change any setting you want)
ON (and setting changes are forbidden by being ignored)

It doesn't take long to learn to use the "no changes allowed" position 
since the large control dial on the rear of the camera is easily moved 
by dragging against your shirt when hanging from a strap.
