How to set Coolpix 5400+ES-E28

Hi everybody,
I recently bought the ES-E28 slide copier (and the UR-E11 adapter) but since I received it without the instruction manual, have some difficulties in finding the right way to configure my coolpix 5400 when using the ES-E28. The problem is that the focus doesn't allow me to see the entire image of the slide in the screen. Therefore I necessarily have to use an image adjusting program (ex. photoshop or PSP) in order to cut the black frame surrounding the image. Does anyone know a different way to set the camera in order to frame the entire slide? thank you

Oooh- I just got one of those, too (i have the same camera)!
Here is how I did it (I lost the instruction manual practically as soon as I got it out of the box- darn birds):
Turn the dial to "A"
Click "menu".
Click "show all menu options"
Scroll all the way to the bottome and click on the lense option. It will give the option of selecting "slide adaptor".
Select that.
No further modification needed.
Mine was getting good shots this way.

I hope that this helps or answers your question? It allows me to see the whole slide this way and then I just crop the slide out in a photo editing program.
