X-Pro 2 OVF Magnification - Switching automatically

I'm hoping someone can help me out.  I noticed in the X-Pro 2 manual that I can manually change the OVF magnification by holding the viewfinder lever for a few seconds.  This works great, and is helpful with the Bright Frame preview button to, say, see if you should switch to an 18mm lens or a 14mm lens when you have the 35mm moutned, without having to mount both lenses.

In any case, since I did the manual switching, the OVF now will ONLY switch manually, whereas before I performed the manual switch, it would change automatically with the lens (wide lenses using the wide view, 35mm and longer with the higher magnification view).

Does anyone know how to get the camera to switch the OVF magnification automatically based on the lens again?  The manual has nothing about this that I can find (just the mention of how to switch it manually).
