Actually it's not tied real hard but in practice there are limits of what can be done with regards to viewfinder magnification of a given screen size. The deal is that if you want to magnify a small screen to appear larger (case in point with pentax APS format DSLRS) , the VF eyepoint

I'm comparing them to two models which are considered to have among the best finders ever put in a 35mm SLR. The F3HP finder is generally considered the best 35mm finder ever (Matched only by the Leica R8/9) and the F100 has one of the best finders of an AF SLR (Outdone only by the F5 and EOS

Looks like you're in SL2 mode (at least that's what it's called on the 540). This puts the flash into A or M flash mode with wireless. See if you can put the flash into SL1 mode which provides P-TTL wireless. Switching between these two modes on the 540 requires holding the light/format button for

High magnification finders haeve their own issues. I've yet to see a finder on 35mm over .85x magnification that is easy to see all of the viewfinder area (The MX was particularly bad for that) even if you don't wear glasses. While the MX is easy to focus, it's rather hard to frame images on.
