PENTAX-developed body-based Shake Reduction

It increases your handheld shooting shutter speed range by 2.5 to 4 stops for blur-free pictures, and is compatible with every PENTAX lens ever produced.

Live View function on a 2.7 inch LCD monitor
A 2.7 inch high resolution, wide-view LCD monitor with a 160 degree field of view gives a Live View of your subject and allows for more precise composition.

Dustproof, weather-resistant body
The PENTAX K20D body has 72 seals to reliably protect the inner components against humidity, moisture and dust particles. Add the durability of a fiber-reinforced polycarbonate body and a stainless steel chassis, and you can keep shooting even in harsh conditions.

Pentax Real IMage Engine (PRIME)
The PRIME image processing engine maximizes image properties and allows custom adjustment of image parameters, such as truer color tones, a wider dynamic range, and natural-looking high ISO images. PRIME provides beautiful, natural results similar to those shot with film.

Custom Image modes
Custom Image modes, with six preset options, offer superior control of how the PRIME processor develops images, and can be further modified to meet your needs. Get beautifully processed images in any shooting condition.

Advanced White Balance
In addition to a wide range of preset white balance options, take advantage of adjustable Kelvin temperature settings and full manual control. Also, every preset and manual white balance setting offers fine adjustment control, giving you powerful options to tune the white balance exactly as you need it.

The K20D offers 36 custom functions with 93 individual settings, ensuring that you can fully customize the camera to suit your individual needs.

Increased control with Expanded Dynamic Range

Dust Alert function
Dust Reduction and Dust Alert features eliminate the need for time-consuming retouching by minimizing dust and determining if and where any dust remains after the system is activated.
