The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into a compound eye photoreceptor cell. A photoreceptor cell is a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation. Different classes of photoreceptor have different spectral sensitivities and express different photosensitive pigments. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of an eye photoreceptor cell. The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of the sevenless receptor binding to one of its physiological ligands. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of the R7 photoreceptor. The process whereby the developmental fate of a cell becomes restricted such that it will develop into an eye photoreceptor cell. A photoreceptor cell is a cell that responds to incident electromagnetic radiation. Different classes of photoreceptor have different spectral sensitivities and express different photosensitive pigments. The process whereby the R7 photoreceptor commits to its cell fate. The R7 receptor contributes the central part of the rhabdomere in the apical parts of the ommatidium.
