My Kodak Easyshare CX7430 came with a 1.5V battery. will a 3V overload it?

My BF says using a battery too strong for the device can fry it over time. The manual is long gone. I assume the battery thats in there is what is recommended for the camera. I can get the 3V in there (even though its a bit larger than the 1.5) and it will turn on but obviously I dont want to destroy the camera.

    If you put too much air in a balloon, what happens? You are putting 2X the voltage in. You will burn it out.
