I've seen a couple of times the photo camera malfunction and cause the stewards to review from the tape replay.

PHOTO FINISH MALFUNCTION-NO PICTURE
Immediately after the finish of the fourth race, Photo Finish technician
Tammy Boag informed the Stewards that due to a camera malfunction
there was no photo finish image available. The Placing Judges were
aware of the situation and compared their numbers with those of the
Stewards. All five officials were in agreement. Additionally, the video of
the race was run at slow motion speed through the finish line area to
further verify the numbers. The camera was working for the next race and
throughout the day.
