No, the on/off on the grip only controls the grip's controls. You may
find (As I did) that the shutter button on the grip is very easy to
activate with the heel of your hand when shooting the camera in portrait
orientation.
The switch doesn't control whether the camera gets power from the grip.

I finally decided to order a istD grip for my big hands. It definitely
is a big improvement both in size and handling.
My question is if the on-off switch on the grip should power up the
camera? On my grip it doesn't and the controls only work when I switch
the camera and the grip on, batteries are inserted in the grip. The
manual is not very clear.
