Yes, off topic. Like not switching off the camera when swapping lenses, leaving the lens in the sun without the front cap both follow the same rule: It can be done but it is not best practice.
Yes but still somewhat on-topic: I think this should be more of a concern with MF lenses (related to OP's question): leaving the camera without lens cap, aperture wide open. Whether on or off, the camera could be damaged by sunlight through the lens. With AF lenses, the aperture is closed when the camera is turned off, just to prevent this kind of risk.
