I found easy way to ugen problem:
in /etc/devfs.rules I added
[local_ruleset=10]
add path 'ugen*' mode 664

then in /etc/rc.conf
devfs_system_ruleset="local_ruleset"

And this is it. Now user can acces camera (PowerShots50) with gtkam. The 
resolution was given by

Jeff Walters*. *Based on man devfs it is impossible to resolve this issue. *
