  1. Login as root user.
  2. Navigate to /system/library/ImageCapture/Devices/Type4Camera.app.
  3. Open Type4Camera.app pkg by pressing the control key and select show package contents.
  4. Find the file info.plist within Contents folder.
  5. Open this file with text edit (it will say it can't be opened, then use text edit to open).
  6. Scroll to the last dict entry (at bottom of file paste just before </array>) and add the following code:

      (g2 product ID=$3055, canon vendor id=$4a9):

      <dict>
      <key>product</key>
      <string>0x3055</string>
      <key>vendor</key>
      <string>0x04A9</string>
      </dict>

  1. Save the file.
  2. Log out as root and log back in under your usual account.
  3. Plug in G2 and voila...pictures download automatically into picture folder."
