The K20D synch socket cover is difficult to remove-- hard to grasp. I
may have lost mine by now. It's tiny. I'll have to look.

What's weird? K20D has the same screw-in (water-and dustproof) sync
socket cover.

I still think it doesn't look like something that is easy to just grab
and pull off - like, the ridges look (and I don't have a K20D so I
wouldn't know from hands-on experience) like they're designed to make
sure you are NOT able to get a good grip on the thing.
The fact that it is the same design as something used before doesn't
change how it looks to me - but, again, I'll state that I haven't used
it so its ease of usage may in fact be far different from what I am
inferring from a photo!
It's the sync cover socket, and it is fiddly. I've lost mine twice,
and have
managed to only find it once.
I don't think there really is a good solution. They've put a PC
socket onto
the camera, but they also want to maintian some weatherproofing in
that
area, so a waterproof plug that won't fall out easily is called for.
It also
can't protrude very much or else it becomes a snag item.
