Formatting SD card for Samsung Galaxy SIII

I recently got a 16GB micro SD I will soon put in my my Galaxy SIII.

I saw notes for various SD cards, that they should be formatted before mounting in a device.

The question would be, what KIND of formatting? Would putting the card in an adapter and formatting via a standard PC work just fine? Or is there a utility to make it work better?

That said, I don't know what kinds of phones this pertained to. For all I know, the S3 has a good internal format utility.

What is best to do?

 

Actually the manual for the phone gives me very little guidance at all! It's small and not well written; why use it when most info is available online?

Anyway, thanks for the input. I know I saw something about using a certain utility to format the card although I can't find it now; I just wondered if it was generally a good idea to format it in that way.

Barring more info I'll just look up how to format it in the phone and proceed to do so.
