I have never turned the camera off to do anything; Leica, Canon, 
Nikon, Fuji or whatever. Never hurt the camera that I could tell.

Then again, my next picture might have been the prize winning picture 
of all time, if I had just turned the camera off before changing 
lenses or changing socks.

BTW, the camera lights come on on the Canons when inserting a card so 
that it can establish communication. If the battery is out, that 
sequence happens when you next insert the camera. Don't worry. Be 
happy. Take pictures.
