K-1 Standby screen default?

I have rented a k-1 to test drive and I have run into a "quirk" that I don't know if it is user error or something I am missing. When I turn on the camera, the standby screen is in the mode that allows me to move the focus points around. I must press the controller (?) 1-2 selection button immediately above the top controller button to display the Mode, AWB, et al options. As soon as I leave the standby (ex viewing an image I have captured) and come back, I have to press the selection button again.

How can I get the standby screen to default to show the AWB and other options? It must be something simple that I have touched but I just can't get it to behave as I hoped.

If I have not explained it clearly I can attach a subsequent photo. Just kind of frustrating as it doesn't behave that way on the k3.

I'm pretty sure this is just a Custom Setting. I think it's C20?

Yup, C20 should do the trick. It defaults to providing direct access to the four sub-menus, so you need to change it back to "1" if you want that.

The small button in review mode is used to change board, in shooting mode is used to change the functionality to your needs.
