Light entering the viewfinder will corrupt the meter readings on most SLRs. The twin leaf mask is to blind the viewfinder when the camera is being used in a manner which would permit light entering the viewfinder (such as when on a tripod).

Activation of the blind is an independent action and has nothing to do with switching the camera on or off. Simply you us it when you need it.

It is not a difficult or complicated mechanism.
You will need to remove the camera top plate to access it and see what is going on.
