Well if the Live View is using a higher ISO and maybe a lower refresh 
rate then it could achieve brighter picture. But it's just a very small 
problem compared to the Zoom one...

The problem with K20D is it doesn't really magnifies. It's almost like 
you watch a picture in a viewer at 100%, 400% and 800%. Already at 4x 
magnification the picture is way too pixelated so it can not be used for 
focusing.
