Think of the moon as an 18% gray card receiving full sunlight and meter accordingly. I.e., 4 seconds is way too fucking much.
Since the inky blackness of space doesn't put out much light, your meter will try to average out the scene and come up with absurd lengths of time. So you'll have to shoot manually.
Ideally, you'd want to shoot it with a really, really long telephoto, but since you've got a non-SLR, your options are "The lens on the camera" or "Buy a whole other camera", so this is probably the best you can do in terms of getting it to fill the frame. Might be worth looking at putting something other than just the moon in the frame, although that will take some doin' to get the lighting right so that the [whatever you put in the frame besides the moon, which will be lit only by moonlight, and therefore dark] is in the same brightness range as the moon.
