Shooting into the sun makes the subject very dark compared to the background, sky and water. Try to keep it behind or off the the side of the lens.
For certain locations, time of day and season make a huge difference.
Look at what is in the frame. Moving a couple feet in a different direction can make a big difference. Or move the subject slightly.
Sometimes a bit of zoom in can be useful. Some cameras have a limited optical zoom.
Using the digital part of the zoom starts losing pixels around the edges.
For my simple Sony point and shoot I've been using -0.03 ev and + sharpness. What that's equivalent to on another camera is anybody's guess.
Seems to be working right mostly, depending on ambient lighting.
