Suggestions for Camera Adjustments

My K10D seems to produce images that lack punch. Currently these are my settings:

Saturation: +1

Sharpness: +2

Contrast: -1

I'm open to suggestions. Thanks.

Turn your contrast up. You have it set to a minus number.

Thanks. I'll try a plus setting in the contrast. The other issue is the darkness of my shots. They all appear dark to me and I have to adjust at least 90% of them.

The K10D is known to meter to protect the highlights. Try shooting with +0.30 EV or +0.5EV compensation.
