    Hyperfocal Distance Question

    My depth of field calculator tells me that if I take a photo of an object (lets say a landscape) & that object is approx 200M away, (I use a Canon 7D with f-stop at 10 & focal length at 15mm) that my hyperfocal distance is at 1.2 M. So if I focus at 1.2M, then from 0.6m to infinity should be in focus. Does that sound correct?? I have been reading about focusing somewhere 2/3rds of the distance to the object to get sharp pictures. 1.2M away? That sounds too close! Peoples thoughts please.....
