The photo at the end is taken at the moment that shows what was in in Mr. B's photo: the blood stain, the hat, and the coil. This image is what caused Mr. B to head to the storeroom to check his coil.
Mr. B took that photo 2 weeks ago. As we see from the 24-hour photo cycle, when a picture is taken, the camera has already sent that image into the past, but another photo is ejected, which has an image from 24-hours in the future. So, we can assume that the final picture the camera takes has sent that image 2 weeks into the past, and that the image that will appear on the photo is from 2 weeks in the future.

Neat! Though that's probably way more thought that the filmmakers themselves put into it
The last photo is meant to be blank for the same reason the top keeps spinning at the end of "Inception" - we're not meant to know what happens next (because the characters themselves no longer know)
