Canon EOS 7D camera only record video while holding down start/stop button?

I turn the switch on the back from the camera image to the red video image. It turns on the live screen. I click the start/stop button and it only records for as long as I'm holding it down. I'm trying to use the camera to record myself so I can't hold the damn button down. Is my camera broken or am I missing something?

Update:

I have camera second hand and thus don't have a users manual.

    From your description you are doing everything right.

    Flick the switch to the right of the viewfinder to the red video icon

    You should then press the stop/start button once to start recording and press again to stop.

    Read the manual. There might be a setting that will change that.
