TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Sony Corp has halved its stake in camera and endoscope maker Olympus Corp and is no longer its top shareholder, according to Olympus. Sony now owns 5 percent of Olympus shares compared to 10 percent as of end-September 2014, Olympus said in a statement. Sony bought shares in Olympus in 2012, providing it with cash to fix its depleted finances after an accounting scandal forced it to restate several years of earnings.
