The tough guy can still be innovative. It’s the photo enthusiast’s dream: classic PENTAX ruggedness with exciting new technology. The K20D.
|
 |
FEATURES:
|
 |
- 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor offers superior image resolution with maximum control over noise.
- With body-based Shake Reduction, the PENTAX SLR system will stabilize your shots, providing maximum flexibility with no compromise in optical quality. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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, 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.
- 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.
- Enhanced Dynamic Range mode gives 200 percent more dynamic range, which brings out detail in the highlighted portions of your image while maintaining detail in darker areas.
- 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.
- PENTAX has manufactured over 25 million lenses in the last six decades; all DSLR bodies offer backward compatibility with every one.* Whichever lens is used, whether the most recent lenses or a classic screwmount, it will faithfully capture the image desired.
- Expect the right exposures with the settings you want. Unique exposure modes, such as hyper-program, Sv and TAv, offer shooting versatility to instantly change the shutter speed or aperture on the fly.
- Advanced 16-segment metering and 11-point AF, with 9 cross sensors, ensure perfectly exposed and focused images, even in the most difficult lighting conditions.
- The PENTAX K20D offers the smallest body size in its category for easy portability.
