Electronics enquiry

Hi to all the electronics guru's

Please help. I have a question.

I am placing a micro fan inside my Samsung AstroVideo camera and it is a 5 volt fan.
I have 12 volt running into the camera (the camera's own power supply).
Today I went to Jaycar and bought a voltage regulator for the fan (7805).

My question is, can I wire it directly or do I really have to use capacitors each side of the Regulator?

Here is what I mean:
