I have a question about zooming out in omniscient narrative.
I'm not entirely sure I know what you mean by the question. The baseline in omniscient-third is quite detached. The "zooming in" is a brief exception. You simply return to the status quo.
You'd probably be best to start out at a distance in the first pages, to give the reader an idea of what kind of book it is.
After that, I wouldn't worry about it unless your beta readers flag something as confusing.
