Large 2.7-inch wide-view LCD monitor, Other features

11.Large 2.7-inch wide-view LCD monitor

The K20D features a large 2.7-inch colour LCD monitor with approximately 230,000 dots on its back panel and allows you to zoom in on the image up to 32X. Its wide-view design allows the user to check the monitor image from approximately 160 degrees both vertically and horizontally and facilitates low- and high-angle shooting when using the Live View function.

12.High-precision 11-point wide-frame AF

The K20D’s sophisticated SAFOX VIII autofocus system features 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type sensors positioned in the middle) to automatically focus on the subject with utmost precision, regardless of where they are in the frame. When the subject is captured in focus, the in- focus sensor point is automatically superimposed in red in the viewfinder for at-a-glance confirmation.

13.Powerful long-life rechargeable battery

The K20D uses the large capacity D-LI50 lithium-ion rechargeable battery which can capture approximately 740 images*** (approximately 50% more when compared with conventional cameras) when fully recharged. Drastic improvement of battery capacity is realized thanks to the energy saving design of all electrical components.
