I just bought a SX530 and am extremely disappointed. Has anyone else had issues with the camera being inadvertently turned on by the wifi button? I have searched the internet and called Canon but they deny there is a problem. (Told me to take the battery out after taking photos and put it back in before taking the next set! Really? You have to be kidding!) The camera has three buttons that will turn on the camera. There is no proprietary on/off button.
The manual seems to disagree with you. It's immediately adjacent to the mode dial.

The wiifi button can not be turned off. Any solutions, suggestions. Canon will not back their product. Thanks
It does not appear wi-fi can be completely disabled. I agree this is unfortunate, but not near as much a power drain as GPS would be. I'm not sure it's using all that much power if it's not actually connected to another device through wi-fi. I would just remove the battery when done with the camera for the day.
