LOL. Dare-devil. I just checked the Muvo PSU, it's rated to provide 5VDC @ 280mA, the camera specification are 6.5VDC therefore you probably won't cause damage but I'm surprised it worked. I assume you were using it along with batteries? Why I suggested that it shouldn't work is that the peak current requirement of the *ist D is in the order of 1.25A which is almost 5 times the maximum rating of the Muvo PSU. So the risk is to the Muvo supply and secondarily to the camera should the Muvo supply fry in a not so favourable way.
