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.
