Yes, that is the procedure I am aware of and use. It prevents rapid
discharge should the shutter get partway pressed during storage/transit
but it is not a full "off" like other models. There is still a small
current drain, AFAIK. I take out the batteries and put them in the
fridge for a "real off."
There is the obvious downside of that of course, and I have been bitten
by that. I keep an alkaline long shelf life emergency only battery
(ugh) in my cases but that amazingly one was dead
last time I needed it. Always red 60 in a super pinch--only happened
once that I remember.

Press the lock button (bottom left of the lensmount) and move shutter
speed
to the red zone ( B, 60 ).
Remember to move the speed ring out of the red zone when you resume
taking photos.
