I just received my 64 gig microSDXC class 10 SanDisk card, and was wondering if I need to format it in any special way prior to using it in my GS3? I was hoping to just start loading music and movies on to it so when I go in and pick up the phone I just plug it in and go, but this will be my 1st Samsung phone as well as my 1st 64 gig card so I don't know if that will work. Any advice welcomed.

Thanks

I just got a 64 gig microSDXC class 10 SanDisk card and installed it on my S5. I didn't receive any instructions to format it after installing it. Do I need to do a manual instruction to format the card?
Can I keep saving photo after photo and be able to use all the memory? When I look up my storage, it says my "device capacity " is 16 GB but my SD card total space is 59.45 GB.
