The asterisk button...is set to FEL (flash exposure lock).
As for the on switch, the first click (on) turns the camera on but disables the thumb wheel on the back (for shooting control)...this is so you don't accidentally adjust something. The 2nd click (I call it the hockey stick) activates the thumb wheel for exposure control (depends on the mode you are in).
All this stuff is in the manual...and I usually recommend that people read it through, 3 or 4 times, to let all that stuff sink in.
