but the Hoover dam used to kill electronic watches. Mechanical watches were all right but not electronic.
It was "suggested" that you leave them at the top of the dam and not take them on the tour. I wonder if
an electronic camera or for that matter an electro-mechanical camera would have the same problem. I
guess I'll be keeping my H1a for photography in those conditions, just in case, if there's still film for it that
is.

This is the kind of thing which makes the film + mechanical (or almost) bodies something that will still work in about any condition. Maybe you can't do too much with them (I mean technological capability of the body) but you know it'll work.
My 2 cents...

Talked to the guy at Pentax Canada. He had me do a reset on the custom functions and the autofocus is working again. Kooky. He said he had experienced this happening on the *ist-D as well.
Damn computers !!!
That sounds more like a solution than a problem.
