Where can i get sony npf infolithium batteries which read on the camera?
I bought a rechargeable NP-F battery, but it says “Cannot use this battery in camcorder.” With the original battery that came with the camera, it works for about 5 minutes and then gives me the same message.
From the research I've done, this seems to be caused by a deteriorated battery, so I think I need a replacement. Where possibly can i get a replacment? Any links id appreciate.

i need help with tapeless options for the sony dsr-pd175p
About 2 months and a bit ago, I made a post about choosing between the Sony DSR-PD175P and those cheap 6k camcorders. I ended up going with the PD-175P, and thankfully, it came with a fully working tape deck!
I was looking at the connections on the camera recently and realised that most of the outputs are connectors I’ve never really seen before. Before I realised this, I thought I’d be able to use a mini DVR to make it tapeless.
That said, what cables and equipment would I actually need to make the PD-175P tapeless?
I’m mainly looking for a setup where I can record directly to a digital storage device instead of using MiniDV/DVCAM tapes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Plans for a skatepark in Harare, Expansion of Culture in Zim
tributejar.com/campaign/harare-s-first-skatepark (any donation goes a long way)
The Harare Skate Club is raising funds to create a safe, free, and inclusive skatepark at Maasdrop Market in Belgravia, Harare. For years, local skaters have had to skate on busy city streets and in traffic-heavy areas due to the lack of dedicated skateboarding facilities. This project will provide young people with a safe space to learn, skate, connect, and grow as a community. The park will be open to everyone at no cost, helping to make skateboarding more accessible while demonstrating the value of public recreational spaces in Zimbabwe. Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings us one step closer to creating a lasting community asset and inspiring the development of more skateparks across the city and the country.

charging options for Sony DCR-PD175p
I got the opportunity to buy a Sony DCR-PD175P. Everything is working perfectly, but it doesn't come with a battery charger, power cable, or AC power adapter.
Unfortunately, I can't easily buy these online because I live in a country where shipping costs are extremely expensive and the process is often complicated. My options are either to buy this camera and let it sit until I can find the missing accessories, or buy one of those cheap "6K" camcorders instead. I've been told those cameras produce poor-quality footage, but I don't have much money.
What would be the best course of action?

sigma dg 70-300 focusing problem
I dropped my camera and lenses a few days ago and didn't notice any physical damage to any of them, and I tested them. Today I realised pictures I'm taking from a focal length of 300 began to come out fuzzy and hazy, and images taken from 200 and below were sharper. In the moment I thought it was my viewfinder and dirty mirrors(I shoot on a DSLR(Canon 550D), I used a cleaning kit and nothing really changed, except for the red autofocus points disappearing when focusing. They've just disappeared completely, which leads me to believe I damaged something when cleaning the mirrors and viewfinder. With two problems whats the best course of action, and what is the best way to fix my problems? Would I need to get my camera serviced?
even in the background, for both, you can see that even though it's out of focus, it looks weird.
