I aquire a Canon 60D which I plan to use it as a second camera body. However, I noticed that the AF (Lens wss in AF mode) only works by pressing the AF button at the back of the body.and not by slightly pressing the shutter button.
2. When I attached my EF lens to check, it won't recognize it, with other words it looks blank just like there is no lens attached.
Is the issue just a matter of set up or more serious issue?
Thank you for your help.

Hi, I can help with the first one, at least.
The camera, as you describe it, is set up for Back Button Focus - which is my preferred method for getting focus with a camera. If you have no experience with it, I would recommend watching the following video and considering if it would be worthwhile trying.
I would recommend that when getting a second-hand camera you do a full factory reset, so that everything is set to the default values. You may also have to check the copyright settings if they have been configured.
As regards the lens. The camera should recognize EF and EF-S lenses. It is possible that a factory reset may help with that, but if not then it would help us to know the exact specs of the lens you are trying to attach.

Eaglesnest,
Your question is a little confusing. How can you know that the camera is focusing when your press the back button if it's all blank?
Are you talking about two different lenses?
What is the lens you are using when "it looks blank"?
