Footage too sharp?

Looks fine to me, I don't see any unpleasant digital sharpening artefacts in that example. If you want to reduce the sharpness though, there's a slider for that in the raw settings tab in Davinci Resolve.

Zooming in, I don't see any sharpening artifacts, in fact the focus seems slightly off or the lens is a little soft or maybe it's just the resolution limits of the file or camera. It just feels sharp because of the hard lighting.

I cropped into the frame and then did a split screen with a lot of sharpening applied:

You can see that the original has very minimal edge artifacts, if any (I actually think the original is maybe a little soft or maybe it's just the posted frame), it's mainly the hard raking light on his skin and the bright highlight in his eye that is making you think the original picture is too sharp.
