I don't think he was smart enough to use a non-metered RF or non-metered reflex camera. Along with most singers, BS,BS,M,FS,DM, ETC.

But I he changed my life. One day I was dancing to 'Schrimp Boats Are Coming' the next I was dancing to 'Heartbreak Hotel'.

It's much harder to sing and remember lyrics than it is to remember the sunny 16 rule-, plus the guy next to him on the "Jailhouse Rock" set has a meter 'round his neck..
He was on a movie set, photography is easy on a movie set! I wonder what cameras Elvis did have.. sending snaps home for Momma..

I was on my way from Amsterdam to Miami when I heard the news- the pilot broke the news..
Seems Elvis was into more than just 35mm- see the same shot from Jailhouse Rock a little further back- Two Fisted Photo Machine!

He wouldn't be the first person who went into a camera shop and said 'give me the best camera you got.' This is the guy who drove a BMW 507 while an active-duty private in Germany, and later handed out Cadillacs as loyalty prizes.
And in the 1950s, there were essentially no cameras with efficient, built-in coupled light meters.

Alfred Wertheimer photographed Elvis in 1956
I do belive Weretheimer used a Nikon S to take these series of photos,
here is a few in one article.
