It would be helpful in the future to tell us what camera brand and model number you have so we can answer you question more definitively. Since there is only one camera with a 30x optical zoom, I will have to assume that you have the Fujifilm FinePix HS10. Is that right?

As with any zoom lens that reaches beyond about 200 mm (Yours can reach out to 720 mm, 35 mm equivalent), you will at some point need a tripod or other means to secure the camera to avoid blurry images caused by camera movement.

Shooting from 24 mm (nice wide angle) to 720 mm (super telephoto) will give you a lot of versatility, but require you to spend some time learning how to use the camera under various lighting conditions and using the various focal lengths.

Macro is a different issue. If you really mean shooting closeup photos, then the HS-10 can focus with the lens 1 cm from the subject. Depending upon which focal length you choose, the magnification will vary.

A true macro lens, has markings on its lens barrel to allow the user the specify specific image to subject ratios like 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4. These exact ratios are important when shooting forensic, medical and scientific assignments, but are not critical when shooting close ups of your favorite object.
