Want to make sure about safe voltage/amperage

Hi. I have a Canon A75 digital camera and I would like to connect it to a ac/dc adapter because at the moment I'm using it as a webcam. In its guide I found that its optional adapter is rated 4.3V/1.5A. While I was looking through my dc adapters/chargers I found one from my Creative Vision M rated at 5V/2.4A. I'm almost sure it's safe to connect it to my camera, but I want to be 100%. So is it?
 
It is possible that the camera will be OK with that power supply, but the volt and amp ratings are both enough different from what Canon specifies for the camera that I personally wouldn't risk it.
 
Thanks for you reply. It'a an old camera that requires 4 AA batteries (1.2Vx4 each). That's why I don't know why the "original" canon adapter has such a low output. 4 alkaline bateries at 1.5V each would also work

Edit: corrected the batteries output.
