Example image links are dead, edited them out. Also formatted line-breaks to how OP might've wanted them. And ƒs are pretty.

answer _is_ specific to this model, so make the model more clear in the question, so that it's more findable in the future

You said: but when I change from f/4 to f/10, it doesn't change much. The smaller F number indicates wider aperture. Wider aperture means more shallow depth of field. So, raising from F4 to F10 will make the situation worse. Zoom in as much as you can, get far away from your subject as much as you can, decrease the aperture as much as you can. Also, when you zoom in fully you won't be able to lower the aperture after a certain point, that is a limitation in the lens of your camera. So, to get the "real" effect of shallow depth of field install GIMP/Photoshop on your computer. :)
