With the release of the Nikon Z9 there has been a sudden large number of Nikon photographers moving to mirrorless for the first time. And there has been a lot of confusion/frustration over some of the peculiarities of the phase detection autofocus of mirrorless. Things like the camera refusing to refocus on a near subject, or AF performance in dark situations being worse than advertised/anticipated.
Some time ago I was asked to give a presentation on Mirrorless PDAF. I have since converted that into a short (6:21) video with narration. The production quality is pretty low, sorry. But the information is quite relevant... it might help you out in a tricky situation.
The information is from prior to the Z9, but it applies all the same. The only place Nikon tells you (some of) the Z9's AF limitations is in the troubleshooting section of the reference guide (web edition).
