Not possible to understand the reason for flickering from such limited information. Z fighting???

Very likely since it seems to be related to the zoom (depth) of the camera.

you should adapt your camera near and far values to closely match your scene

yup which confirms the z fighting issue that could be resolved by setting setting your camera near and far plane value in a lot of cases.
