potential damage and questions.

I'm new to all this, forgive my lack of technical terms.

I have a device that is rated at 8.1 dc according the the manufacture sticker.
Furthermore, I have a Plug that is showing 9.3v on my cheapish craftsman multi meter.

Now the questions:

1) How likely am I to damage the Canon 7d digital camera if I sent 9.3 volts to it.

2) I've looked at voltage regulator calculator and I lack the technical prowess to fully understand them so:
A) How would I solder one of these in?
i)Can I just cut the wire and solder the regulator in line there? That would be very convenient!

B) What type/size of voltage regulator do I need? Surely I must be missing some neccicary data about the camera to determine this.
