USB Photo Slide Show, TV as digital frame

I have a Bravia 75/900E. I would like to view my photos as a slideshow on the TV using a USB thumb drive. When I insert the USB stick, I'm able to see my photos on the "Album" app, and there is a slideshow at the top half of the screeen, but I want the whole screen to function as a slideshow, and I don't seem able to do that. Do I need a special app? Or is it a setting thing? or is it just not possible? In other words, when I'm not watching can I use this TV as a gigantic digital photo frame?

I have a 940C, so I may have a different (older) Album app version than you.

If I have a USB directory opened in the Album app, press the "Action" button on the remote, and select "Slideshow", then it cycles through the current directory. All individual photos are displayed full screen and there are no other app user interface elements visible, just like with a photo frame. Unfortunately there are no settings for speed, order, or transition effects.

Thank You Farnsworth! I don't know why they made that so un-obvious, but your solution worked. It's strange to me that such an advanced piece of technology doesn't have more options for photo displays . . . .
