A quick question because I'm curious and have never handled one of these two models: does the green exposure (etc.) data display under the eye-level reflex finder of the EOS 760D and EOS 750D (i.e. the Rebels T6s and T6i) disappear as soon as you release half-pressure on the shutter button, or does it remain for a few seconds afterwards (as on earlier models such as the EOS 100D (SL1)? I'm referring to when they are set to evaluative metering and single AF, before you actually decide to take the shot, but simply preview the exposure settings and operate AF with a half-press, and then let go.

Thanks!

About 5 seconds

Thanks very much.  Coincidentally I downloaded the manual and read it carefully just before you posted, and finally spotted the tiny stopwatch symbol which gives the answer also.  I was double-checking because of the fact that the EOS M3 (annoyingly to me) only meters when you half-press the shutter button, and instantly switches off the shooting data when you let go (at the above settings).  As it was launched at the same time as the EOS 750D and 760D, I was worried they may be the same, since the EOS M had the variable settings for a metering timer (also missing on the EOS M3).
