SUBTLE SHADOW DETAIL: PENTAX DYNAMIC RANGE ENLARGEMENT.
More delineation, more depth, closer to the original PENTAX Dynamic Range Enlargement (DRE) tackles an issue that is as old as photography. Until now neither film nor digital imaging could accurately represent the huge dynamic range of the human eye. To put it simply, results were muddy shadows or blown-out highlights. With DRE the dynamic range of your photographs will increase by a full stop enhancing your photos from drab contrastless depths.
SEE WHATS GOING ON: PENTAX LIVE VIEW.
The ability to frame your subject through the lens that takes the image is fundamental to SLR photography. Focus point, depth of field, lighting conditions are just a few of the parameters to check through the taking lens. Now there is a new way. Live View is a real time preview that allows you to experiment with a variety of settings and to try out ideas. What you see on the large 2.7 monitor of the K20D is what you get when you press the shutter button. Live View picture grid lines can be superimposed on the display to compose the scene more precisely. The image can be magnified by a factor of 10, to check critically fine sharpness of detail prior to shooting. The Live View screen offers easy viewing comfort, not only through its increased size of 2.7 and a clear, bright display, but also through its enhanced viewing angle. The display is easily viewed from angles of up to 160, so comfortably composing a shot from an unusual position is easy.
CLARITY AND COMFORT: THE PENTAPRISM VIEWFINDER.
To critically check composition, the K20D has state-of-the-art technology with Live View and digital preview. However, experienced photographers know that the optical viewfinder remains an indispensable tool in SLR photography. That is why the pentaprism viewfinder of the K20D offers a 95 per cent image field with 0.95x magnification one the best
YOUR CAMERA IS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR EYE.
Photography lives through successful pictures. A good camera can do much towards this by making sure that nothing clouds this enjoyment, and can even increase it by offering you new ideas. Really good cameras can do both.
available today in digital SLR cameras.
CHECKING THE SENSOR: PENTAX DUST ALERT.
Experienced photographers have their own techniques for checking the sensor is clear of dust, and so has the K20D. Dust Alert further advances the Dust Removal function with real reliability. Dust particles can remain clinging to the sensor under very special conditions even if it has shifted after vibration. Dust Alert locates persistent and annoying dust particles and indicate their exact location with pinpoint accuracy, making it easy to clean the sensor with the special (optional) Cleaning Stick.

Perfect particle detector: persistent dust has no chance in the K20D. Any possible contamination of the image sensor can be pinpointed exactly on the monitor the right way up and the right way round. The red lens alignment dot on the lens mount indicated on the monitor facilitates proper orientation.
SMOOTH IS SHARP: PENTAX SHAKE REDUCTION.
Most shots are taken spontaneously so the vast majority of photographs are taken handheld and not with a tripod. Thats why every photographer knows that it is extremely difficult to avoid situations where a shot will be blurred due to camera shake. Times when the lighting conditions require a longer shutter speed. Times when the camera, for various reasons, cannot be held sufficiently steady. The PENTAX Shake Reduction system substantially increases your chances of a sharp shot. If the camera registers a gyroscopic movement, the highly efficient, opto-magnetical sensor technology ensures that the image sensor compensates with a counter movement. Pin sharp photos are the result. This system extends the range by up to 4 stops an obvious advantage to the photographer. The PENTAX Shake Reduction system is an integral part of the camera body and is fully functional with any lens such a great advantage!
IN CONTROL OF DRAMATIC LIGHTING.
Its really thrilling when youre on the limit. And that applies to photography as well. Harsh contrast glaring highlights and deep shadows on the narrow edge between bright and dark. The PENTAX K20D is an expert for pushing the limits. A WORLD OF DETAIL.
The CMOS plate with electromagnets for controlling Shake Reduction is mounted between metal frames with permanent magnets attached.
Everything that we see is the result of the interaction between light and surface. The human eye has an enormous ability to notice the subtlest nuances. As does the PENTAX K20D. Until now it has been difficult for any camera, whether digital or film, to capture large differences in contrast. The face of a backlit person for example; or the surface detail of a bright object in front of a dark background. Thanks to the new PENTAX Dynamic Range Enlargement your images will take a major step forward, extending the recordable contrast range. Basically, this assures that there is proper highlight control for the bright areas and sufficient light for the darker areas almost as if you were making a double exposure. The result: more modulation within the dark ranges and more detail in the bright portions. Youll immediately see a substantial increase in spatiality and tension in your photos.
MAKING THE MOST OF THE MOMENT.
Creativity covers a broad sprectrum. That is why the PENTAX K20D features all you need to work your way and offer huge potential. Exposure metering, focusing, data management the camera is always ready to capture your ideas with speed and absolute precision.

THE DRIVING FORCE: PENTAX PRIME.
In order to harness the power of the 14.6 megapixel image sensor, the tried and tested PENTAX PRIME (PENTAX Real Image Engine) processor is at the heart of the K20D. It controls all processes of image development and recording to memory. Digital data flow-rate of up to 800 Mb/sec. provides for extremely fast processing and uncompromised image quality. (The latter, by the way, in conjunction with the equally newly updated 14-bit analogue-to-digital converter.) The aim of perfect image quality with the lowest possible noise tipped the scales in favour of the 14-bit technology used in the K20D. The A/D converter provides images in both JPEG-format (8 bit colour depth) and RAW data (12 bit colour depth) with more information than necessary and provides for absolutely brilliant results.
PRECISE ILLUMINATION: EXPOSURE MEASUREMENT.
A cameras exposure system is fundamental to its ultimate performance. The K20D analyses the light with 16 separate metering segments. This provides a precise balance of the light-to-dark ranges of the scene, assuring optimum exposure for each photo. Again, flexiblity is provided as the K20D also offers both centre-weighted and spot metering. Exposure metering can also be combined with the focussing distance when necessary.
AMAZING NOISE: EXTENDED ISO RANGE.
The ISO range of the K20D covers an expanded ISO range of between ISO 100 and ISO 6,400 with extremely low noise. In conjunction with the work on the 14.6-megapixel CMOS sensor, the PENTAX developers considered every
11 PRECISION POINTS: THE AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM.
Precise focus is crucial for maximum expressional impact of a photo. The K20D works with an 11-point autofocus system. In the automatic mode the camera recognizes the nearest object and focuses on it. Alternatively, each of the 11 focus points can be individually selected in order to customise the screen display to your own preferred way of working. Additionally, its also possible to set the focus point to the centre of the frame. In AF.C autofocus mode the focus continuously adjusts as the subject moves. With certain lenses the focus can be adjusted manually in automatic mode or you can simply switch to manual for full control. In either case the 9 cross and 2 vertical sensors provide bitingly sharp results. A special highlight: The K20D permits front/back focus correction. This function previously found only in professional DSLRs makes the most of your lenses. It can be used to adjust and correct the focus point for individual lenses, or lenses designed for film cameras.

design nuance in order to progress their goal of ultimate noise reduction. Even the electronic components of the camera were physically laid out so that their effect as noise sources would be minimal. The result is brilliant images in any critical lighting situation. There are numerous options for choosing the ISO value. The camera can automatically select a suitable ISO sensitivity and there is also the option of setting an ISO range with minimum and maximum values. Of course, sensitivity can be set manually, with intermediate value settings possible. And finally SV-Automatic, or Sensitivity-Priority Mode, can be selected. In this mode the ISO sensitivity can be changed with the control dial at any time shot by shot with the camera automatically selecting the correct aperture and shutter speed. With all its variations and in any of the selected modes the ISO value is clearly indicated in the viewfinder.

LIGHT IS THE PLAY. YOU ARE THE DIRECTOR.
As a photographer you know the importance light plays in the success of your photography. The difference in time of day, angle of view, quality of light all have the potential to dramatically alter the final image. Just sit and watch, and wait. Then choose your moment.
EMOTION AND DECISION: COMPREHENSIVE COLOUR MANAGEMENT.
Strong, vivid colours or a natural hue with muted contrast the optimum basic colour mood is very much an individual preference. You can alter the colour balance to meet your concept of the image, so the PENTAX K20D offers a number of options to match your individual style. Altogether six colour dynamics settings can be preselected in the Custom Image function. The selections available include natural, vivid, bright and monochrome (black-and-white); additionally there are colour refinements particularly suited to landscape and portraits. The monochrome mode also offers extensive filtering options as well as various tone selections.
Colour management through Custom Image

ESTABLISH THE ATMOSPHERE: WHITE BALANCE.
Proper colour balance depends on white balance: with the K20D you can either let the camera set this automatically or you can manually enter your own preference. The K20D assesses the colour temperature in 100 Kelvin or 20 Mired steps. If that isnt enough then you can further fine-tune the colour temperature value. Use the preview function to show the result of your adjustment. Colour temperature can be saved as three individual settings. Colour space is just as easily selected. Select Adobe RGB (best for electronic image processing and copying) or S-RGB standard (best for printing).
TRY IT, DONT SPECULATE: BRACKETING.
It is sometimes difficult for even the most experienced photographers to set the correct exposure. This is where exposure bracketing comes into play. Taking either 3 or 5 consecutive exposures, each set to over and under exposure, leaves you secure in the knowledge that youve got the shot exactly right. And if thats not enough the camera also offers the option of other bracketing modes, including white balance, focus, colour saturation and contrast. A small but fine detail is that to shoot a bracketed sequence, whether for three or five exposures, you only have to press the shutter release once.

Mode: Natural

Mode: Vivid

Mode: Bright

Bracketing: Contrast
Bracketing: White balance
PERFECT PREVIEW? JUST SAVE IT.
The digital preview allows you to examine the shot to make sure all parameters are exactly right for perfect result. All the critical parameters can be analysed on the large 2.7 monitor: you can alter the white balance, contrast or saturation and see how the photo changes immediately. The preview picture image can be also be magnified for a more critical evaluation. The RGB histogram and the over- and underexposure warnings are clearly displayed, to help even further. Often enough the first preview shot is the one that youre after. If this were the case, it would be annoying to have to shoot it again to really capture it especially if the lighting has changed. No worry: the K20D is lets you store the preview picture, even if youve made some adjustments to the white balance! At present only PENTAX offers this function.
THE INTELLIGENT CAMERA ADAPTS: CALIBRATE THE WIDE ANGLE MONITOR.
The 2.7 (6.9cm) LCD monitor screen fills the rear of the K20D body. With its 230,000 dots, the screen provides a razorsharp image with a viewing angle of up to 160. However, the biggest advantage is that the colour balance of the TFT display can be calibrated precisely. This enables you, for example, to guarantee that the colours on the monitor correspond to the colour settings of your printer right from the outset. Additionally, the monitor of the K20D can be adapted to different lighting situations.

An optimally adjusted monitor is crucial for evaluating a photograph. With carefully designed features, such as 32x magnification and the grid overlay, the K20Ds monitor gives the photographer fine control over his work.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: INDIVIDUAL FILE NAMES.
Would you like to separate your landscape photographs from your portraits with ease? Or find your holiday photos in an instant? No problem. The K20D allows you to assign specific file names to your photos, making it much easier and quicker to identify pictures. You can manually input a file name with a combination of up to 4 letters and/or numbers.
EVERYTHING IS CLEAR: INNOVATIVE MENU LAYOUT.
A large range of features normally results in an overly extensive camera menu. To make the options much clearer and easier to read, the selection bar of the K20D functions menu acts like a magnifying glass. The size of the active selection increases by around 150 %. Also, words that are abbreviated on the menu are fully spelled out when selected.

THE BEST DEVELOPED.

Real quality is found in the small details. Its something that you can feel. The developers of the PENTAX K20D knew this and developed a camera for people much like themselves. People with a passion: a passion for photography.
LOWER COMPRESSION, BETTER PHOTOS: FILE FORMAT CHOICES.
The RAW data of your digital image is just like your negatives or slides from the film age. Instead of conventional RAW files, which can only be worked on with the specific manufacturers software, the K20D can alternatively store your photos in DNG format that is compatible with Adobe Photoshop. For simpler applications or for archiving, you can select compressed JPEG format. Four quality settings can be selected: Good, Better, Best, and Premium.
MAXIMUM CONTROL MINIMUM EFFORT.
Innovative technology not only gives more choice, but also simplicity and ease. It is so easy to become an expert in light with the PENTAX K20D.
SO SIMPLE, SO HELPFUL: EXPOSURE CONTROL.
The PENTAX Hyper Program, or extended program shift function creates a freedom that no other camera can offer. When the mode dial is set to P, the camera is in Program mode: shutter speed and aperture are selected automatically. With a turn of the front input dial you can instantly change the automatically selected shutter speed and the camera will automatically select the correct aperture, and you have switched to shutter priority. Turning the rear dial changes the aperture and the camera adjusts the shutter speed accordingly aperture priority. A simple push of the button and the camera jumps back to Program mode. There is plenty of choice when it comes to automatic modes. The Sensitivity Priority (Sv) mode calculates shutter speed and aperture on based on a chosen ISO value. Shutter Priority (Tv) mode sets the optimum aperture for your chosen exposure time. Aperture Priority (Av) mode sets the correct shutter speed for the selected aperture. Shutter and Aperture Priority (TAv) mode calculates the ideal sensitivity range based on the selected shutter speed/aperture combination. In the USER mode you can set your own exposure mode and camera focusing preferences. Furthermore, the functions of the front and rear input dials are fully programmable.

A BUTTON WITH A BRAIN: THE PROGRAMMABLE RAW BUTTON.
One of the most popular features of the K10D is the direct RAW button. The K20Ds RAW Button is now fully programmable. You can specify which configuration is used when the button is pressed, and choose between these useful options: save in RAW format, as RAW and JPEG formats or only as JPEG. The default mode when the camera is switched on is just as easy to set. If required, the camera will maintain its settings after switching off.
INSTANT RAW DEVELOPMENT: PROCESSING PICTURES IN CAMERA.
Image processing begins when the picture is taken. However, before releasing the shutter the photographer can decide whether the picture tone is natural, vivid or bright. Other parameters, such as saturation, sharpness, contrast and colour can also be precisely adjusted and stored according to the photographers preferences. Photos recorded in RAW can be worked on directly in camera and then stored as JPEG files. The following parameters can be changed during in-camera development: resolution, compression, white balance, sensitivity, chroma, saturation, sharpness and contrast. An additional useful tool is digital filters. Whether for colour photography or for black and white, the PENTAX K20D offers a wide selection of adjustments.
TIMELAPSE MADE EASY: THE INTERVALOMETER FUNCTION.
The movement of the sun over the sky, the blossoming of a flower, the changes in a crowded square over the course of the day the world provides numerous situations that lend themselves to a series of photos. The PENTAX K20D offers a unique Interval timer function that allows you to shoot a series of photos at set intervals. Up to 99 images can be taken at intervals between one second and 24 hours.
THE NEXT STEP: PHOTO BROWSER AND PHOTO LABORATORY.
Digital photography also encompasses image management and image processing. You are no doubt quite experienced at doing on your own computer what used to be done by specialist retouchers in the darkroom. With the new PENTAX PHOTO Browser you can easily transfer, organise, manage and store your pictures directly on the hard drive of your computer. With the new PENTAX PHOTO Laboratory have you a tool that pushes to the limit the ability of your camera to render detail. The software reads universal DNG format as well as PENTAX RAW files so that you can get the best out of your pictures with a choice of software. You can influence and control white balance, colour intensity, exposure and make classical image edits such as the correction of converging lines and much, much more. The result: brilliant and tonally rich photographs.
A POWERFUL COMBINATION: LENS AND SLR CAMERA.
In photography everything depends on the best use of the light available and this is exactly the task of a lens. The lens determines just how good the entire optical system will be and substantially determines the quality of the resulting photograph. PENTAX offers a range of lenses with outstanding optical characteristics as well as innovative technology. Our SLR cameras rank among the best in the market, complementing perfectly each component of the PENTAX imaging system. Lens and SLR body development are precisely co-ordinated so each works in harmony with the other. The newest generation of PENTAX DA* lenses feature SDM (Supersonic Direct-drive Motor) ultrasonic drive. The autofocus capability of this lens range is highly precise, ultra fast and especially quiet. A practical advantage of the DA* lenses is protection against dust and water. Together with the inner focusing design these lenses achieve a remarkable level of operational ease. A number of new lenses accompany the release of the K20D. PENTAX now has one of the most extensive ranges of digitally optimised lenses.

LIGHT TO GO.
Sufficient light is a pre-requisite for successful photography. Because a significant proportion of photographic situations are in poor lighting conditions PENTAX has developed efficient flashguns that supply accurate, consistent light for you in any situation. Seamless communication between your PENTAX digital SLR camera and its PENTAX flashgun makes it possible. For the K20D we recommend the AF-360 FGZ or AF-200 FG as a standard general purpose flashgun, while the AF-540 FGZ, the top range model, offers, among other things, a high guide number, bounce and swivel flash head as well as a rapid recycling time. With a flash sync socket on the side of the camera body the K20D is also ready to link up with high-quality studio lighting units.
