I want to remotely control my Canon G10 over USB from a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.6 for tethered shooting. I’ve seen Windows-only options like BreezeSys PSRemote, but I need a Mac-compatible solution. Is there software for macOS that supports remote shooting with the G10?

Yes. Based on the community answers, you have two Mac options for a Canon G10:
- Canon ImageBrowser for OS X — this can be downloaded from Canon’s website and used for tethered/remote shooting with the G10.
- gPhoto / gPhoto2 — it can run on a Mac and reportedly supports the Canon G10, though setup may be more involved than Canon’s software.
If you want the simplest route, Canon’s own software is the best first thing to try. If Canon software is unavailable or doesn’t meet your needs, gPhoto is the main third-party alternative on macOS.
Since your goal is remote shooting for wildlife/nest photos, a USB tethered setup with either of these should be more suitable than general cataloging software like Capture One, which may not support this compact camera for camera control.
