LCD monitor. This allows you to see the full image area and conrm your
composition. A grid display can be engaged to help assure the perfect
arrangement of your image. Auto focus can be activated by simply
pressing the AF button on the back of the camera, and then details can
be veried with a 4X or 8X zoom function.
Enlarged Menu
PENTAX oers two improvements in the menu of the PENTAX K20D. The
new scrolling menu items oer you a complete description of each menu
option and the function it provides, while an enlarged letter option allows
you to boost the font or letter size by 50 percent vertically for easy viewing.
The PENTAX K20D incorporates a large 2.7 inch color LCD monitor with a
wide-view design, allowing the photographer to see the monitor
image over 160 degrees vertically and horizontally.
With a total of 230,000 dots it accurately
displays your images with minimal
power drain. It also oers digital
zooming of playback images up to
32X for easy conrmation of the
image’s focus status and details,
and, due to its large size, you can
even review two images side by
side. The large monitor allows
for large letters, digits and icons
on the menu screens to facilitate
menu conrmation and
camera operations.

LCD Color Adjustment
The colors displayed on any LCD screen will change as lighting conditions shift. This can be critical when you are
shooting JPEG images, or converting RAW les in-camera. The LCD on the K20D can be adjusted to display the
correct colors for your most common lighting conditions, much like having a white balance feature specically
for your LCD to allow better conrmation of your captured image.
ISO Adjustment
The K20D features an auto sensitivity control function, which automati-
cally sets the optimum standard output sensitivity – up to ISO 6400 in the
Expanded Sensitivity setting, based on such data as the subject’s brightness
level and the lens focal length. You have full control of the range of auto
sensitivities available. Or, you can manually select the desired sensitivity.
Enlargement of Dynamic Range
The dynamic range enlargement function of the K20D allows you to better
emulate the results you typically nd only with images captured on lm. It
does this by increasing the dynamic range by 200 percent to better capture
details in highlight areas of an image.
