I thought mirrorless did auto 'MFA' every time it focuses. It's now redundant technology as far as I am aware.

No all mirrorles uses CDAF cycle, CANON EOS R, RP and M is PDAF only.

Dual Pixel PDAF works well with new lenses (RF) that desinged to it. But older lenses sometimes not.

For example Panasonics-s are  CDAF only (and because this always 100% accurate in single shot mode with not moving subjects).
