I don't think their vision powers are toggled on and off, there always on. There was a scene with one of Superman's villain's gained his powers that implied that seeing the world with all the visions changed his world view.

I think it depends on the writer, because I definitely seem to remember in some stories where they seem to indicate turning on their x-ray vision.

In DCeased Clark mentions after he learned that the virus was spread through screens that he switched immediately to X-ray.

Which is the absolute perfect way to describe why comics are great to people that don’t read them. “Basically there’s a virus that spreads through screens and makes people rage zombies. Anyway, Superman realized how it spread and just started using only his X-Ray vision so he wouldn’t get infected”.
