The G12 is not supported :-

If you mean can you do something similar with CHDK, the answer is yes.
You use something called PTP.
However, it does not run 'out-of-the-box', CHDK developers (especially G12 owners) can give you more information.
I have some software that will probably do what you want, if you get stuck contact me.
