CAN'T HOOK UP TO PC

You don't need to use Olympus batteries. The D-395 uses two standard AA batteries, either disposables or alkalines. You should be able to find AA batteries at just about any department store, drugstore, electronics store, office-supply store, or supermarket.

The camera takes a 3V xD Picture Card (3.3 V). The original one was 16 MB; the camera will support an xD card between 16 and 512 MB. Olympus will sell you a 256 MB card for $10 here: https://us.buyolympus.com/xd-picture-card-h256mb.html . Another site with the correct size xD Picture cards is http://www.memorysuppliers.com/olxdpiccar.html .

Details for the Olympus D-395 camera are available from Olympus under Archived Products. See http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_archived_product_details.asp?id=953 . Links to the manual and specs are on the site.

I hope this helps.

Either use the lead and software which came with your camera to download the photos to your pc or remove the card,put it in slot in your pc and download the photos. Or you can open the card up as an external drive via "my computer" and copy the photos off onto your pc. Its safest to copy and paste them,check they are ok and last of all,delete them from your memory card. If you "cut and paste" them and anything goes wrong,they are lost.
