The Pentax was activated using its timer function, and the camera making the photo was triggered just before the flash would fire from the Pentax.

The only other aperture priority camera Pentax had made up to this point, the ES series, only had manual shutter speeds from 1/60 upwards.

The K20D is the first Pentax DSLR with a CMOS image sensor co-developed by Pentax and Samsung.
