Thanks for all the suggestions, I went out with the 18-55 on and shot some flowers, they happened to have some critters on them so it worked, then in post processing cropped in as well. I have a good range of lenses, 50-140 and the 100-400 and 1.4 teleconverter. Will look at adding a macro lens or extension tubes to the kit some day. Will have to sell on the XT1 I upgraded from first. Attached is the image I ended up with.
 
 
Cheers

Laurel, you do not say what lenses you have? There is no specific camera setting for macro photography. Fuji’s extension tubes are very good but expensive. Don’t dismiss them that would be an easier way to adapt almost any lens to be able you to get a bit closer.
Another way to get closer is a telephoto lens but not ideal.

Hi laurelxr!
 
Congratulations, you've bought yourself quite advanced and expensive camera. That's the good part.
The bad part is that buying a better set of laws of physics costs a lot more.
You'll be better off just buying a macro lens and set of appropriate lights.
 
Good luck!

No, for macro you'll need either a macro lens, extension tubes or close-up lenses. Close-up lenses can be very affordable and they are easy to use. You just screw them on your lens like a filter.
