Mostly you don' need to. Both if you do, you will understand it because your device will not recognize the card. All devices such as cameras have format fuction in their menu.

That really depends on the device your using it in. Some require the card to be formatted before use, others do not. It seems as if the most recent ones I've purchased have not required formatting. I just popped it in and went!
