Hi Ice,
for ages I used the Leica in afocal mode, never the TouCam.
I always had shots like yours, then tried a few different things.
I turned them to grayscale, and in the Brightness/Contrast setting upped (to about 40 - 60 from memory) the contrast, and then tweaked the brightness to look about right.
Upping the contrast has the effect of seemingly bringing out the solar granulation, and it wa s fine line between overdoing it.
Try it anyway, can't hurt.
Seeing around the middle of the day always seems to be rough, so again it is a tradeoff between elevation of the sun, and seeing, can't win.
Keep at it, and while the sun is quiet, perfect the technique, so when those big suckers appear you will be aready.
